Newsradio 590 KLBJ serves Central Texas providing live, local news updates on the hour and half hour seven days a week. It is the only 24 hour broadcast news operation in Austin. KLBJ also keeps Austinites on schedule with traffic updates and weather reports from a team of meteorologists who watch the volatile Texas weather 24 hours a day.
KLBJ's local talk hosts like Mark Caesar, Ed Clements, and Sergeant Sam Cox with Austin’s Morning News, and Jeff Ward in the afternoon are always at the forefront of controversial local issues in a city where politics is a contact sport.
In over seven decades of service to Austin, KLBJ has always sought to be a leader in community service. Among its notable programs are “Operation Call Home,” benefiting our troops overseas, and the “Breakfast Bash,” commemorating the annual Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry. This heritage of civic involvement was recognized by the National Association of Broadcasters when KLBJ was honored with the 'Crystal Award' for outstanding public service in 1994, and has been consistently nominated virtually every year since. KLBJ has also received the National Association of Broadcasters award for 'Medium Market News/Talk Station of the Year'.
