About us:
KTRL 90.5 is a brand new public radio station with a programming schedule that is still under construction. Tarleton State University acquired the 90.5 frequency in 2009 and we hope to fully launch our new public radio format this spring.
KTRL 90.5 FM covers a ten-county area of the Cross Timbers from our transmitter located between Stephenville and Granbury, with our strongest signal available in Stephenville, Granbury, Glen Rose, Hico and Dublin, covering about 100,000 people in this area, with over 200,000 people in our full coverage area indicated by the middle circle on the map below.
KTRL hopes to offer a variety of public radio music, news and entertainment programming to the Cross Timbers.
Our programming schedule currently includes a variety of programs, from our eclectic daytime music mix format to nationally-recognized public radio news and entertainment programs.
New to Saturdays is The People's Pharmacy at 6 a.m., Primetime Radio at 7 a.m. and Travel with Rick Steves at 8 a.m. Folk, Bluegrass, Blues and Jazz round out the rest of the Saturday Schedule.
On Sundays, our current classical offerings include Sunday Baroque from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Classical Guitar Alive at 1 p.m.
Weekdays, we’ve added Undercurrents from 6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Weeknights, listen to Folk Alley, Le Show (with satirist and actor Harry Shearer), Celtic Connections with Brian Kelso Crow, E-Town, Vinyl Cafe with writer Stuart McLean and The Putumayo World Music Hour.
