1955 KXOL to KXIQ

Well here it is and maybe we should have got permission first because things aren't always what they seem.  Those of you few who read this "blog" know that Brownsville, Texas got a new radio station and right now it's streaming music over the airwaves on your FM dial 105.1 and its call letters are KXIQ. Steve Clark of the Brownsville Herald did a write-up about it recently a part of which you can read HERE.  What you read in the Herald online is just the gist of the actual printed page.

KXIQ 105.1 is a low power FM radio music station that we all hope will make an impact so if you live in Brownsville you can listen in anytime as the music streams 12-hours of commercial-free music.  We wish the ** Brownsville Society for the Performing Arts ** all the best as they continue to build a radio station that will reach the entire community and will try to keep readers posted as to any new developments.

Here's the original photo taken from KXOL News webpage.  A few Photoshop tricks were used to change the letters.  So if we dont get emailed any objections from the fine folks at the original KXOL tribute page we'll keep this posted and you posted as the radio station takes a hiatus for other new developments in downtown Brownsville with the Half Moon Saloon and Brownsville Society for the Performing Arts.

By the way some of you may remember that KBOR's "Voice of Brownsville" Hank Hollingsworth got a taste of radio broadcasting when as a boy in Ft Worth to watch a baseball game being broadcast live by KXOL.
