KRBL (105.7 King FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to Idalou, Texas, USA, it serves the Lubbock area. The station is currently owned by David Walker and Fred Underwood, through licensee Walker Broadcasting & Communications, Ltd.
Following court receivership in 2012, the station concluded its run as Praise Radio 105.7 on March 6th, 2013 at 6PM. It was flipped immediately, stunting with an all Beatles format. One week later it re-launched as 105.7 The Edge. The first commercial alternative rock station in the Lubbock market.
The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show serves as the morning show, with the rest of the programming done locally.
Keeping in line with other stations owned by Walker Broadcasting & Communications, 105.7 The Edge is one of very few stations that include local bands and musicians in their playlist.
On November 1, 2013 KRBL announced on their Facebook page that they had been approved to boost their ERP to 25,000 watts, greatly expanding their coverage area.[1]
On February 27, 2015 KRBL changed their format from alternative rock (which moved to KJDL 1420 AM) to classic hits, branded as "105.7 King FM".[2]
