KODA, known as "Sunny 99.1", is an FM radio station licensed to Houston, Texas. The station's transmitters are in Missouri City, Texas. It is a mainstream adult contemporary station, marketed to the at-work listener. The station's studios are located along the West Loop Freeway in the city's Uptown district.

The station, formerly simply identified as K-O-D-A or "Coda" and 99.1 at least since the late 1970s-early 1980s (when it was a member of Group W), relabeled itself as "The All-New SUNNY 99.1" in February, 1991 evolving from a "jazz hybrid-soft vocal format" to "Mainstream Adult Contemporary" under the direction of General Manager Dusty Black and Program Director Dave Dillon. The programming of adult and soft-rock music did not substantially change. Between and including Thanksgiving and Christmas, the station plays Christmas music 24/7.

The "Sunny" branding was also used on sister station KEGL-FM in Dallas, Texas, broadcasting oldies AC music from 2004 to 2005.

History

The station signed on Christmas Eve 1946 as KPRC-FM, the FM station for KPRC 950 AM. It was on 99.7 MHz until 1947 when it moved to 102.9 MHz. In 1958, the FM station was sold and changed call letters to KHGM-FM, changed to the current frequency in 1959, and then changed calls again to KODA-FM in 1961, right before the AM station was purchased (now KLAT). It operated as a daytime simulcast until the AM station had to shut down at sunset and continued the station's programming independently until the AM signed on again at sunrise again. The AM and FM combination was sold to Group W Westinghouse Broadcasting in 1978 and was shortly broken up when the AM station was quickly re-sold.

When the Houston Oilers were a National Football League team (they are now the Tennessee Titans), it was the flagship radio station for at least the 1986 season.^[1]

When the Electronic Program Guide aired on Warner Cable, KODA was used as the audio in Houston.

Notable syndicated programming includes Delilah's Love Songs show on weeknights (replacing long time Houston institution Zoe Bonet's Love Songs).
