Brownsburg’s only local radio station will celebrate one year of service to the community with a giant party.
Radio Brownsburg General Manager and Morning Personality Shane Ray said the festivities will run from 4-7 p.m. July 10 on the parking lot of the broadcast studios at 701 N. Green St.
“We’ll have food, birthday cake, exhibitions, demonstration and much more,” Ray said. Revelations Salon and Spa will be giving haircuts for donations to a charity. The Brownsburg Fire Department and Police Department will be bringing equipment by for show and tell. We’ll have the usual prizes and great giveaways. It promises to be a super event.”
Radio Brownsburg is a Low Power AM station broadcasting at 1610 and 1650 frequency. Ray, a Kentucky transplant worked in radio there. He gives the station call letters WXRB. Ray said the station was launched to fill a void in the Hendricks County market since all of our local stations have moved to Indianapolis. The station plays rock-n-roll music from the 1950s to the early 1980s, but also has a hefty schedule of local shows from an interview show with Brownsburg Town Council members to Adopt a Pet on Monday mornings. Every Friday, the station honors a local business with the Business of the Week designations. Radio Brownsburg also broadcasts news three times a day and has an extended Community Focus every day at noon.
This fall, Radio Brownsburg will carry all football games by the Brownsburg Bulldogs, plus it will carry football games from other Hendricks County schools on their website, www.RadioBrownsburg.com.
“Because the games are played at the same time, if you want to listen to Avon, Tri-West, or Plainfield, you can go to our website and listen to a live stream,” Ray said, “or if you miss it, we’ll have the games archived on our website so you can listen to them anytime.”
Radio Brownsburg broadcasts from the corner of State Road 267 and Motif Boulevard in Brownsburg and is currently setting up satellite transmitters around Brown, Lincoln and Washington townships. Ray hopes to cover the entire county eventually. In the meantime, listeners can tune into the signal at www.RadioBrownsburg.com. Station personalities include Bob Jenkins, Nick O’Neal, Corey Lee, Gus Pearcy, Bret Holaday and more. Check out the full schedule and listen to the live stream at www.radiobrownsburg.com.
