Great news for Christian Music

and Rock fans in Houston

and around the world

KSBJ has now served the Houston area for about 30 years. Even in the old days they tried to have a progressive Christian rock show on Saturday nights from 10pm to 12 am called “Rock of Love.” As a young person I needed to hear believers expressing themselves with Rock and Roll. KSBJ itself has always majored on music and simply done a lot of ministry in the Houston area. It is one of the finest public supported stations in the world. It also has a local PPM rating to prove it. (It is always in the top five stations of the town.) As time rolled on, they added some translators in distant towns and a fine internet signal. When HD Radio came about they added a new station called NGEN. This station plays Christian Rock and Rap. It is the station the “Rock of Love” folks dreamed about. That station is also available on the internet and mobile devices. Recently KSBJ acquired a new signal west of town on a new signal. That gives the station two 100,000 watt plus outlets to serve a large part of the Texas Coast. This acquisition also allows engine to be on some old translators that are now in the middle of the new signal. Ngen will broadcasting from several live small translators and HD-2 on terrestrial radio. As of now, she only does this in two smaller close by markets and HD-2. NGEN has also provided an internet stream to vtuner.com This allows NGEN to be tuned in by many more internet listeners and several internet radios that use the site for stations.

Over the past years it has been exciting to see this ministry grow and reach the Upper Texas Gulf Coast and indeed the world. It is a top notch station. It has Djs 24/7 and has people who can pray with callers most of time. They also take prayer request by email and answer those too. They also are a leading promoter of concerts in the area too. NGEN is also coming into its own quicker than was expected. They will be in 5 or more markets terrestrially this July and do well as a station on the internet. Their new WMA internet signal is rock solid if you wish to grab it with vtuner.com You can also get it at their site and with mobile devices.

To get started with these two fine ministries you can go to ksbj.org or ngenradio.com
