I copied the following information from the KBON website because it will sum up the type of radio station they are:
KBON 101.1 FM Louisiana Proud Radio is a locally owned Louisiana Music powerhouse situated in the heart of Cajun Country, Eunice Louisiana. Our programming is a unique variety of music with a Louisiana flavor; Cajun, Swamp Pop, Zydeco, Country, Classic Country, Oldies, Blues, and more. Though we do such a broad variety of music, KBON 101.1 FM is mostly dedicated to Louisiana Musicians and Louisiana Music, with 85% of our airtime devoted to local music artists.
Now here's my feedback on KBON. I'm a displaced Cajun, living in Austin, Texas, who gets so homesick sometimes my heart hurts. KBON actually makes it worse because they are so authentic. From the very thick accents of the DJ's to the partial Cajun-French spoken morning show, this is an awesome station. I am a club member so I get to listen to the stream online at work. You can go a whole day and never hear the same song. (They have pretty strict no-request policy except for two an hour on weekdays. They do this so the same song is not requested and played over and over again.) They do a lot for promoting Cajun culture and Cajun musicians and dedicate Friday's to Louisiana artists.
The DJ's are so friendly. I've emailed them many times asking what a song was or who was the artist and the album I could find the song on. I always get a quick and friendly response. read more
