KMFR (1280 AM) was a radio station broadcasting a classic country format. Licensed to Pearsall, Texas, United States, the station served the San Antonio metropolitan area. The station was owned by David Martin Phillip and Marguerite Phillip, through licensee Rufus Resources, LLC.

History

The station was first licensed, as KVWG, on April 25, 1963. It changed its call sign to KSAH on May 10, 2004. Ten days later, the station changed its call sign to KTFM; on January 19, 2005, to KILM; on January 26, 2005, back to KVWG; and on September 21, 2011, to KMFR.

In its later years, KMFR operated as part of Rufus Resources' "No Bull Radio" network, a regional network of classic country stations in South Texas based at KCAF-FM in Kenedy. On October 1, 2026, Rufus Resources surrendered all its licenses, including KMFR, to the Federal Communications Commission; the "No Bull Radio" programming continues as an Internet radio station via Live365, with Rufus noting the shutdown eliminates the geographic limits to its AM and FM signals. The license was cancelled on October 5.
