KROB (1510 AM, The Conjunto Station) is a radio station broadcasting a Conjunto/Tejano music format.^[1] It is licensed to Robstown, Texas, United States, and serves the Corpus Christi area. The station is owned by Claro Communications, AKA B Communications Joint Venture.^[2] It also broadcasts on FM, using the K232DE translator on 94.3 in Corpus Christi.

1510 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee is the dominant Class A station. KROB must leave the air from sunset to sunrise to prevent interference to the WLAC nighttime skywave signal.

History[]

KROB went on the air in 1963 to serve the farming community of Robstown with a country music format. The station was licensed for operation daytime hours only. In 1966 KROB added a sister FM station, KROB-FM 99.9, to simulcast the AM station and to provide nighttime service. KROB-FM is now KSAB-FM. KROB was assigned the call letters KGLF on August 1, 1993. On October 9, 2002, the station changed its call sign back to KROB.^[3] An FM translator was added in the late 2000s to allow KROB FM service.
