KUBJ (89.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Brenham, Texas, United States. The station is owned and operated by the KSBJ Educational Foundation.
KUBJ features a Christian CHR format as part of a quadcast with 3 other full powered stations in southeast Texas owned by the KSBJ Educational Foundation. Branded as NGEN Radio, its studio is located in Humble.
On July 2, 2012, KSBJ switched KUBJ along with the three other facilities from the main KSBJ Contemporary Christian format to their secondary "NGEN Radio" programming, after purchasing then 96.9 KNTE in El Campo from Liberman Broadcasting.[1][2]
History
The American Family Association received the original construction permit for this station from the Federal Communications Commission on September 26, 2005.[3] The new station was assigned the call sign KBEX by the FCC on October 10, 2005.[4] Prior to the sign on of this station, KBEX had been used as a common stock call sign for fictional TV and radio stations in film, radio and television productions.
In December 2006, the American Family Association reached an agreement to sell KBEX to the Educational Media Foundation as part of an 18-station deal valued at a total of $2.5 million.[5] The deal was approved by the FCC on February 7, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on March 23, 2007.[6] Less than one month later, in April 2007, the Educational Media Foundation, reached an agreement to sell KBEX to the KSBJ Educational Foundation. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 1, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on December 12, 2007.[7]
KUBJ received its license to cover from the FCC on September 18, 2008.[8] On September 19, 2008, the call sign was changed to the current KUBJ.[4]
