KBLY (100.5 MHz)[1] is a radio station licensed to Newcastle, Texas broadcasting a new Christian radio format containing both Contemporary Christian Praise and Country Gospel music. The station is owned by Positive Radio Network, LLC and has offices and a studio in Graham, Texas.
History[edit]
KBLY came on the air early in December 2016 playing ad-free Christmas music. On December 26, 2016 KBLY flipped to its full-time format of Contemporary Christian Praise and Country Gospel. In 2018, the station was sold to Positive Radio Network, LLC, along with the permit for KCKB, for $87,000.[2][3][4] The sale price represented forgiveness of an outstanding debt owed to Positive Radio Network by previous owners Two Way Communications, LLC; the sale was consummated on January 3, 2019.
Programming[edit]
KBLY plays a unique mix of music and also provides long-form talk and public service programs.
Music[edit]
The music format, a mix of Contemporary Christian Praise and Country Gospel, is new to the Christian Radio industry and could be likened to a secular Bob or Jack FM format popular in larger markets.
Long-form talk and public service programs[edit]
KBLY provides air-time to several churches within its listening area, as well as rebroadcasting the radio show Pathway to Victory with Robert Jefress.
Sports[edit]
KBLY also provides seasonal sports to its listening area; including the Texas Rangers[5] and Dallas Cowboys.
