Station Information

What is Texas Country? It's tough to describe but easy to hear. Think of artists like Pat Green, Jack Ingram, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Wade Bowen and Miranda Lambert. Now add in numerous other bands and singer/songwriters who travel the nightclubs and concert circuits across Texas and you've found Texas Country.

Can you imagine a radio station that claims to have more CEO’s listening than any other in the country? The claim could easily be true when you consider that the farmers and ranchers that listen to “All Ag, All Day!” are owners of big companies. Of course, they aren’t competing against IBM or General Motors, but they are running million-dollar companies that specialize in food and fiber. As the only All Farm station in the state of Texas, KFLP-AM generates more than fifteen-hours of original farm programming every day and covers one-sixth of the state of Texas – including the largest cotton-growing region in the United States (more than 3-million acres of cotton) . Agriculture is big business, and “All Ag, All Day!” is the only way to reach this segment of the industry everyday when they use radio the most. Factor in live coverage from various agriculture conferences and exclusive interviews, and you’ll understand what West Texas agriculture is talking about and listening to is “All Ag, All Day!”

Now the largest Friday Night High School Football Scoreboard show on the radio (with approximately forty radio stations tuned in every Friday Night) can be anywhere you travel on Friday night from the Oklahoma panhandle to South of Interstate-10, and from Interstate-35 west to the New Mexico state line. Every Friday night Steven Orr and Tony St. James bring you the scores and highlights from the entire region. Amarillo ISD Athletic Director Tex Nolan says “I love the show. It’s got all the scores we’re interested in”. Scott Sherwood, son of legendary coach and Texas Hall of Famer Greg Sherwood says “It’s the show that we always dreamed about”. Of course it’s great to have excited fans, but the fact that it can be heard in more than thirty-three markets and is heard by millions (including listeners online), the enthusiastic response of the radio station affiliates says it all. If you’re interested in hearing all the scores in the state, or want to know how the large metropolitan schools in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio or Houston are doing, you might want to look elsewhere. However, if you love the excitement of “Friday Night Lights” – from Odessa Permian in the big schools to the small-town six-man football teams – then you’ll love the West Texas Friday Night Scoreboard Show presented by Farm Bureau Insurance.

Agriculture Today is the fastest growing farm show on the radio today. Since its debut on three stations in January 2005, fifteen more stations have added the one-hour show to their programming lineup. It’s no wonder that more farmers across Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico are listening to Tony St. James and Agriculture Today. From the original one-on-one interviews with today’s newsmakers to audio reports from around the world, Agriculture Today is a day’s worth of farm and ranch news and information packed into sixty-minutes. Factor in market reports and analysis, and you can see why farmers and ranchers are talking about Agriculture Today. Of course, advertisers are talking too. With a program that routinely is sold out, there’s already a waiting list for some network commercial slots. Although results will vary, one recent advertiser had nine calls within the first three days on the air – not to mention one rancher who was ready to buy after the commercial’s first airing. Producers are starving for information in the workplace… a workplace that doesn’t include television, newspaper, magazine or internet. Whether in their pickup, tractor, combine, cotton stripper or barn, today’s farmers and ranchers are listening to Agriculture Today (click on the link to see the latest list of affiliate stations and hear sample audio: www.AllAgNetwork.com.
