NGEN Radio (stands for Now Generation Radio), is a subsidiary of KSBJ. They play genres including Christian rock, Christian EDM, and Christian rap. NGEN plays artists like NF, Lecrae, Tori Kelly, Twenty One Pilots, Andy Mineo, Needtobreathe, KB, Gawvi, Cass, remixes of CCM artists, and other Christian rock and hip hop acts.
The station can be heard through traditional analog FM radio through its translators on 93.1 in College Station, at 89.5 in Bay City, at 91.1 in Lake Jackson/Galveston, and 99.7 in Brenham. It can also be heard on 92.5 HD-2 in Navasota and the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area. On February 24, 2016, the KSBJ Educational Foundation announced it was purchasing KUHA, formerly a classical music station, from the University of Houston for $10 million. This gave NGEN a city-grade analog FM signal for the first time. KUHA went dark on July 15, 2016 in preparation for NGEN's launch on 91.7, while changing its call sign to KXNG. KXNG eventually launched the format on August 8, 2016.
