History

102.5 was activated in 1959 as KHBR-FM. The relatively low powered station had its antenna side mounted on the KHBR (AM) tower on Country Club Road in Hillsboro, TX. It operated as a simulcast of KHBR and continued the day format at night on 102.5. The station was spun off in 1983 to interests in Cleburne, Texas. The station raised power to 32,000 watts and operated with an emphasis on the Lake Whitney area. Eventually a CP was granted to relocate the station to a site roughly midway between city of Hillsboro and the desired target area of Waco. Power was raised to 100,000 watts and the height increased to 500 feet.

The station went on the air as KJNE on 1983-09-14. on 1994-02-01, the station changed its call sign to the current KBRQ.

KJNE went on air as a country station, later changed to Classic Rock.
