Galveston Island has its fair share of surfing waves, but many may not know about the recent rebirth of the Island's airwaves. Just like many Islanders, 1540 KGBC re-formatted post-Ike. Before the storm, the AM station broadcasted Catholic radio. Now KGBC plays a variety of music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's.
Along with its healthy library of music, KGBC has implemented a morning show, a weekly business hour, and a variety show of sorts on Friday evenings at 5:30 called the Electric Theatre Radio Hour. The latter stars local Renaissance man George Lee, who infuses comedy into almost everything he creates, along with his wife who informs listeners on all that is the latest in fine Island dining.
KGBC also attends and broadcasts live from as many local functions as they can get to around town. You can also tune into local sporting events, which includes a Sunday broadcast of the Bay Area Toros of the Continental Baseball League (2008 champions).
Station manager Julian Arango has many more future plans for the re-established station, especially since the broadcast studio recently moved from Pelican Island to Downtown on 25th street.
KGBC also has flexible advertising opportunities for local businesses. In fact, KGBC will customize a package based on a certain budget.
So, next time you're tired of hearing the same old songs, catch the Island's newest waves at 1540 KGBC on the AM dial.
