KBLT (104.3 FM, "KB Radio Ranch") is a radio station broadcasting a classic country music format.[1] Licensed to Leakey, Texas, USA, the station is currently owned by Radio Cactus, Ltd.[2]
[edit] History
The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station to Horizon Broadcasting, Inc. on March 28, 1997.[3] The station was assigned the KBLT call sign on May 12, 1997,[4] and received its license to cover on September 10, 1997.[5] On October 23, 2000, Horizon assigned the station's license to the current owner, Radio Cactus, along with that of sister station KBNU.[6]
KBLT was also famously a pirate radio station in the San Francisco Bay area. It was run by Sue Carpenter and employed a Dunifer system. Carpenter later moved and renamed the station KPBJ all of which she chronicled in her tell-all book "50 Watts from Nowhere."
