KLTN is a Regional Mexican station broadcasting in Houston, Texas, United States, at 102.9 FM. The station was KQUE, an Adult Standards station until 1997, when the station was purchased from its local owners by Robert F. X. Sillerman and his company, SFX Broadcasting. KQUE was moved to 1230 AM. 102.9 then became home to KKPN, an Adult contemporary music station known as "The Planet". After a series of mergers, the station came under the ownership of Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel was forced to spin off several stations in the Houston area to meet Federal Communications Commission Ownership restrictions. KKPN was at that time the weakest station in the Clear Channel cluster, and thus was sold to Heftel Communications, a company specializing in Spanish Broadcasting. Heftel changed the station to its current callsign and format. Heftel merged with Tichenor Media to create Hispanic Broadcasting, which later became Univision Radio, the station's current owner.
