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.

two fine ministries you can go to ksbj.org or ngenradio.com
