KBLY (100.5 MHz)[2] 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.[3][4][5] 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.[citation needed]
Programming
[edit]KBLY plays a mix of music, long-form talk, and public service programs.[citation needed]
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.[citation needed]
Sports
[edit]KBLY also provides seasonal sports to its listening area; including the Texas Rangers[6] and Dallas Cowboys.[citation needed]
