The Orignal Wimberley Valley Broadcaster on Stream since 2010
The KOWO stream is currently on pause due to financial limitations. We’ve relocated our tower to a new site in Wimberley to enhance our coverage across the Wimberley Valley.
Meanwhile, a new low power FM station in San Marcos, which appears to be unaware of certain FCC regulations, has shifted from 103.1 to 104.1 FM—the frequency we occupy—based on an emergency application claiming interference with 103.5 FM in Austin.
This move questions our presence and the enhancement of our signal intended to better serve the Wimberley community. We are dedicating resources and time to contest their claim to our frequency.
Until we gather additional funds and receive a conclusive decision from the FCC, we are conserving resources in preparation to launch an improved stream, a new studio, and a stronger signal soon. For now, 104.1 FM remains clear in the Valley. thank you!
Please considering making a donation.
We are a local 501C3 not-for-profit & non-commercial radio station for the Valley of Wimberley, Texas.
