KBGA 89.9 FM, Missoula, MT is a college radio station on the campus of the University of Montana.

Known for its eclectic and non-mainstream programming, KBGA has been on the air and serving its community since August 1996. With an educational/alternative format, the station consistently strives to fill a particular niche, broadcasting a broad range of music that is not aired on any of the commercial radio stations in the market. Save the mainstream forms, a very substantial number of music genres are represented over the station's airwaves. From goa trance to combo jazz, melodic I.D.M. to garage and roots reggae to traditional bluegrass.This is the beauty of the KBGA experience - College Radio doing what College Radio is supposed to do: challenging as well as entertaining the listener.

KBGA College Radio's staff is comprised completely of students and its efforts are also supported by over 50 volunteer deejays. Local area listeners, organizations and businesses have been very supportive of the station since its inception and are instrumental in its continued success as one of the nation's most progressive and innovative college radio stations.

KBGA was consulted by and briefly collaborated with Sirius Satellite Radio in 2000. In the same year, the station was introduced to the rest of the world in the print medium as it graced the pages of the June 8th issue of Rolling Stone magazine in an article covering webcasting.
