KBDG (90.9 FM) is a radio station in Turlock, California, United States. It is owned by the Assyrian American Civic Club of Turlock, Inc., and broadcasts a variety of Middle Eastern music, concentrating on Assyrian music.

Contents

It has been operated by the Assyrian American Club since 1993; the club purchased it from original owner Turlock High School, which operated it as a training program and class for high school students.

History

Turlock High School obtained the permit for a new 10-watt educational radio station in town on December 19, 1975. [2] It began operation on October 4, 1976. [1] After 17 years, the high school sold the station off in 1993, with faculty advisor Bob Hoskins noting the school was more interested in starting a television production program. The Assyrian American Club bought the station for $17,000, fending off a rival bid from KADV (90.5 FM) in Modesto. [3]
