KSBJ purchases Livingston FM

Mediafrog+ said:
KSBJ Educational Foundation is buying KETX-FM 92.3 in Livingston, and has already started programming the station. This will fill in coverage area lost (or reduced) when the primary KSBJ transmitter on 89.3 moved to NW Harris County.

KETX is a Class C2. Coverage area here: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KETX&service=FM

Sale does not include KETX 1440.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but KSBJ now owns all the stations that are preventing KROI from moving north into Houston. KALD is the only station I can think of not owned by KSBJ, but they may be too far away to matter.

Interesting position KSBJ has put itself into.
 
I was able to hear KETX-FM this morning, but the audio level was extremely low, so they have some things to fix.

It appears the Classic Rock format that had been on 92.3 has moved to KETX 1440. That station is supposedly getting a translator on 102.3, which would return the format to FM.

I would think a call letter change is on the way for 92.3.

As big as the KSBJ reach is getting, I am starting to think that EMF should no longer be shy about acquiring a signal for K-Love in Houston. Also thinking that WAY-FM could make its way here as well—it seems to be doing fine in DFW. Depends on which can get 92.1.
 
When my wife lived in Livingston, TX, she was a regular KSBJ listener. She would have lost them completely with the new tower.
 
They could potentially buy KROI, downgrade KETX to C3 or A , move KXNG east to rimshot B/PA, move KROI north for a better signal for Ngen. Depends on how much they want another houston signal
