KGNZ

Business Services > Broadcasting

KGNZ is Abilene’s only locally owned and operated Christian radio station, and the first non-commercial, public FM station to air programming in Abilene.

Christian Broadcasting Company, the non-profit corporation which owns and operates KGNZ, has been incorporated in Texas since December, 1972. KGNZ went on the air March 9, 1981. The station currently operates at 91,000 watts, 24 hours a day. We cover a potential audience of about 600,000 people. The signal reaches from 80-100 miles around Abilene, and in addition transmits over San Angelo, Snyder, Graham and Lubbock by translator. KGNZ is available live worldwide via streams on KGNZ.com, TuneIn Radio, iTunes Radio on Apple TV, and via the KGNZ App for Apple and Android devices. Abilene native Jack Hill, a graduate of Abilene Christian University, founded Christian Broadcasting Company. He and his family served in Sao Paulo, Brazil as missionaries until 1965. In 1969, they moved to the New York-New Jersey area to minister. It was there they were first exposed to Christian radio and realized the blessing of regularly receiving Bible truths in music and teaching over the air waves.

In keeping with the vision to be a unifying force in the Body of Christ, board members have represented several different backgrounds: Baptist, Church of Christ, Methodist, Episcopalian, Bible Church and Non-Denominational.
