KBPA (103.5 FM, "103.5 Bob FM") is an Austin, Texas based radio station. The station's slogan is "We play anything." Its format is similar to other Bob FM stations across the country. Its transmitter is located near Buda, Texas, and its studios are located along Interstate 35 in North Austin. Dance can be heard on 103.5 HD-2 'Mega 103-5 HD-2' (HD Radio needed). Also streaming on the internet at http://www.megahd2.com. ==History== *The station signed on in 1971 at 103.7 FM as KRMH as "Good Karma" a suitable name for a progressive rock station on the fringe of Austin ("Broadcasting from beautiful downtown Buda!") in its "Hippy-Dippy" age. It was licensed to San Marcos/Austin on 103.7 MHz. KRMH was owned by R. Miller Hicks (RMH) (Hence, the call letters). The station was one of the few to broadcast in Quadraphonic stereo. *Later sold to the Wendall Mayes Interests (also owned 1490 KNOW-AM) and renamed KCSW-FM. *Later both AM and FM sold to the Hicks family (no relation to R. Miller Hicks) (Family of well known investors Steve and Tom Hicks.) The station was renamed KEYI-FM (Key 103) with an adult contemporary format. Station eventually sold to Bob Sinclair of Sinclair Communications. His firm was in a partnership with a local concern, the LBJ Company, under the name "LBJS." Since then the Johnson family sold their interest to an Indianapolis based firm, Emmis Communications. The new partnership was named Emmis Austin Radio Broadcasting Co., LP. The station moved from 103.7 FM to 103.5 FM in 1987. * Prior to becoming Bob FM, KBPA (then KEYI) was branded as Oldies 103, playing a much tighter playlist of Motown and 1960s rock. When the switch took place on August 20, 2004, there was an initial outrage from loyal listeners () angered by the loss of the only full-time oldies station in Austin. Since that time a competing Austin station now features the oldies format on their secondary HD radio channel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KBPA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
