Me and my all time favorite emcee!!
Tonya B.

I came to Radio One (FM stations 92.1, 97.9, 102.1), because I won backstage passes to Boom Bash 2. (On a whim, I entered a text contest and actually won and actually met Run DMC, Ramim, MC Lyte, etc., etc...) It was simple matter of picking up tickets and signing paperwork with the gentleman at the front desk. He was nice. (I was impressed by the meet and greet staff at the concert.) Parking: This is a building that houses many of the local radio stations. They tell you not to park on the street, but you can. Just don't park in the restricted areas. READ THE SIGNS, because you will get a ticket.

This station promotes racism. I hear them daily while at work. While some of the content is decent the rest is negative.

In fact, this is the only radio station in the USA that's ever been bombed in an effort to get it off the air. Not just once, but twice the KKK bombed this station to get them to keep quiet. But this radio station isn't very good at staying quiet- what good radio stations remain quiet? They came back each time louder and better! They do a lot of political talks on this station. Get ready for a lean to the left. But my favorite part is when they play the eclectic foreign music- especially the Bollywood music. There's just something great about jamming to the sitar while cruising down Westheimer. It's Houston's home to Al Jazeera on the radio dial. The DJs are kinda special. They just run their own show, which they're interested in. It's not like they're all spinning the same music. I think they're all volunteers. I believe that if you have an idea for a show, they'll let you show up and broadcast if you ask nicely enough!

The station also broadcasts a few Rice sports games, the occasional in-station performance, and some special campus events. In the rare instances when a DJ isn't around, KTRU broadcasts WRN (the World Radio Network) or its new "robotic" DJ takes over (pre-recorded sets). You can make requests online or over the phone; set lists are available online. KTRU also hosts a wonderful, free outdoor show every spring on the Rice campus. You don't have to be a student to DJ. DJ application deadlines are in the fall, spring, and summer. KTRU is generally acclaimed as one of the best college stations in the country, but though I DJ'd there for 6 years I don't have the concrete info on that at my disposal (will update later with real info).

On select nights there are themes that the station follows covering all genre's of music, even genre's one wouldn't imagine exists. At times, weekends from midnight on fro, the station becomes a bizarre bazaar as if the station is on auto-pilot and its media player plays all songs at random which makes for good entertainment, great entertainment when herbally induced. However, this is rare. Most of the time you'll get something you'd have to be bored out of your mind to hear. Cuul ppl preset 91.7

As typical of FM radio stations in the mid-20th century, the FM station usually was a hi-fi simulcast of its AM parent. During the 1960s, it simulcasted its AM parent KXYZ which played beautiful music. In the late 1960's, the format changed to Love Radio formulated by then-owner ABC Radio with the calls changing to KAUM around 1970. From 1980 through late 1986, the 96.5 FM slot for the Houston-Galveston market operated as KSRR 97 Rock FM, featuring morning radio host Moby. The station competed against the album rock format of 101.1 KLOL (and from 1986, KZFX Z-107.5 FM). From October 15, 1986, the station changed call letters to KKHT, and the hard rock-oriented format was replaced by a contemporary hit radio format known as Hit 96.5. By mid-1987, heavy competition from top 40 powerhouses KKBQ and KRBE prompted the station to morph to Adult Contemporary. The station rebranded as 96.5 KKHT From 1989, the station changed call letters to KNRJ, modifying its format to feature a heavier variety of "high-energy" dance music. This format, branded Energy 96.5, was a competitive response to two other local stations, 93Q KKBQ and Power 104 KRBE, whose Top 40 formats reflected the increasing presence of dance club-oriented tracks (catering to a then-lucrative target audience drawn to the flourishing night club scenes along Richmond Ave., and inner Westheimer Road.). These competitors featured late-night, weekend live-to-air from local dance clubs (e.g., Club 6400, The Ocean Club), where in-house DJs drew heavily from libraries of imported and small-label, extended-length modern tracks (which otherwise were seldom, if ever, heard on most commercial stations); by early 1990, KNRJ had partnered with the Tower Theater's Decadance to host its own weekend, late-night live broadcast. In early June 1990, during a morning talk show segment, the host personalities announced that Energy 96.5 would switch to an Alternative Rock format. The Alternative 96.5 re-brand was a transitional format, lasting roughly six weeks, and was promoted while a forthcoming format -- under a strategic decision by the station's owner, Nationwide Communications, Inc. -- was under preparation. A weekly play list, under an Alternative 96.5 makeshift letterhead, was distributed to local retail and media outlets, culminating on July 17, 1990.

The Choice! This station is the official radio station of…read moreTexas Southern University in Houston. The radio station also is where the students cut their teeth and spin their tunes to the student body, as well as the public at large! I think if you become a TSU student, you can have your very own radio show and you can spin (almost) anything you wanna on the air. Since it's a non-profit station, there's no real advertisements on this station. They have the occasional public service announcement, and are always good about giving the time and weather. They do a great job of playing cool stuff to spread the cultural stuff that the students are into over the radio waves. I enjoy how each students' show has a different style of music- ranging from R&B to rap to Zydeco. This station plays it all. If you don't like music, just give it an hour or two, and a new DJ will step in the booth and crank out something different. They occasionally get into the news. They have a request line, but I've always been content to let them spin their own stuff without my guidance. It's your community station! Tune in!

I been listening to this awesome radio station for decades and no complaints all wonderful experience. I mean you get all style of music without even have to switch that radio or app. And that's another thing, if my radio ain't treating me right static and going on I got that app so either way it go I got to have it. But my favorite is Friday oldies and Saturday's back yard party. I be tuned in from sun up to Sun down. This station is my favorite and my look forward to every weekend. Keep jamming and imah keep tuning in......
