Contents

KROB is a daytimer station. From sunrise to sunset, it is powered at 500 watts. But because 1510 AM is a clear-channel frequency, on which WLAC Nashville is the dominant Class A station, KROB must leave the air at night to prevent interference to the WLAC nighttime skywave signal. KROB programming is heard around the clock on 1 FM translators: at 94.3 MHz in Corpus Christi.

History

KROB signed on the air on February 22, 1963;61 years ago. It served the farming community of Robstown with a full service, country music format, including local news and agricultural reports. In 1966 KROB added an FM sister station, KROB-FM 99.9 (now KSAB). The AM and FM stations simulcast with the FM outlet providing nighttime service when the AM station was off the air.

KROB was assigned the call letters KGLF on August 1, 1993. On October 9, 2002, the station changed its call sign back to KROB. [4]

An FM translator was added in the late 2000s on 94.3 to allow KROB to be heard on FM in Corpus Christi.
