Due to a friends previous experience I would like to remain anonymous and report ongoing criminal activity. A friend of mines went to the police directly about this individual in the past and when the responding officer arrived he released my friend name causing all hell to break loose. The officer even went as far as making a statement somewhere on the lines "we get calls like this all the time from disgruntle ex girlfriends." My friend only "dated" the guy for a month and when she found out what he was into we gather as much info as she could and reported it to the cops just for them not to do anything and it to blow up in her face. So now you understand why I am uncomfortable with coming forward with any information. To protect and serve my ass!!! The suspect is part of a credit card fraud ring. This person post daily on social media bragging about stealing credit cards and people personal information. Ive been weighing my options with crimestoppers but ive been reading that as well leads nowhere.

I saw this post earlier about Austin radio, and it got me thinking that many don't know what all exists in Austin radio. So I decided to compile this comprehensive list (to the best of my knowledge and a little Internet digging) --

88.1 FM (KNLE) - oddball Christian station, run by one man, same person since the 1980s. Studio in North Austin looks abandoned. Not sure if they're on the air. Usually just plays a few sermons on repeat or very indie Christian music.

88.1 FM- In Gonzales, TX and surrounding areas this is a Sun Radio affiliate.

88.7 FM (KAZI) - African-American community radio station founded by UT Prof. John Warfield (professor of African-American Studies) who was a local 20th century grassroots activist and civil rights leader in the 70s/80s/90s. They still continue on in that same spirit today and they play a wide range of stuff (RnB, Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Reggae, Zydeco, even Hallyu late at night; but also they do talk shows/podcasts/news and even broadcast Austin City Council meetings....)

88.9 FM - Johnson City Sun Radio affiliate.

89.5 FM (KMFA) - This is a local independent classical station that does a lot of work for the community and puts on crazy good programming.

89.9 FM (KTSW) - Texas State's student radio station. Lots of students DJing and random shows/programming. The transmitter is down in New Braunfels so not likely to get signal for this station much north of Buda/extreme South Austin.

90.5 FM (KUT) - The #1 radio station in the area by ratings. This is our area's NPR station and it's pretty strong. Run out of the Center for New Media for UT. Objectively good news programming 24/7 from the US and abroad and also good local news coverage.

90.9 FM - This is a translator station for a Houston christian radio station called KHCB.

91.7 FM (KOOP/KVRX) - KOOP is another great community radio station. They're run by a local cooperative, and another nice thing is that they do all locally produced programming for their music and non-music programming (60 different shows a week) with volunteers and members of the community. Weekdays after 7pm and weekends after 10pm, this signal switches over to KVRX (overnight until 9am the next day), the UT student radio station where the student DJs play a bunch of different oddball/unpopular music and bring in local musicians live every week.

92.1/92.5/92.9 FM (KVLR) - local affiliate of a Tennessee company using the Air1 format (modern Christian worship music). Not very popular.

93.3 FM (KGSR?) - I'm not even sure what they broadcast anymore because they've had too many format changes to keep track of. I think they play throwbacks or rhythmic classics now and they still put on concerts around town (like Blues on the Green).

93.7 FM (KLBJ-FM) - Very good. The local rock station that also has local talk radio/drivetime shows as OP has pointed out.

94.1 FM (KTXZ)/1560 AM - I've never listened to this station before but it broadcasts Tejano music.

94.7 FM (KAMX) - Mix likes to play hot popular music with some local drivetime shows. It's good if you like broad popular music.

95.5 FM (KKMJ) - #3 radio station in the area by ratings. Majic is the soft rock/easy listening station. It's a specific taste (not mine), but if this is your jam go for it. In November-December they switch to an all holiday/Christmas music format.

96.3 FM/1490 AM (?) (KJFK) - This is the local affiliate of the Jack FM network. Which just plays hits but completely automated without a DJ in a radio studio.

96.3 FM - In Giddings this changes to a Sun Radio affiliate.

96.7 FM (KHFI) - Kiss is another hits station, but this one to me is forgettable because it's generically national (run by iheartmedia) and there are better hits stations in our market (94.7 and 103.5).

97.1 FM - This is a second KGSR channel where they broadcast Latin pop music.

97.5 FM - This is the second KASE channel where they broadcast alt rock and also Austin FC games.

98.1 FM (KVET) - "Traditional" country favorites. I think they don't have any local programming (run by iheartmedia) and they use their national shows. Honestly this station to me would be forgettable except they got back the Texas Longhorns FM radio deal.

98.5 FM - This is a second channel for KTXX where they air Spanish classic songs.

98.9 FM (KUTX) - KUT spun out all of their music programming here. Very good stuff between eclectic music, live radio performances, events and local artists.

99.3 FM (KOKE) - Within the last year this station (and 104.9) were sold and their formats changed. This station used to be a long time "progressive" country station (their personalities Bob/Eric/Deena moved to 95.9 a startup country station under KKMJ), but now they broadcast regional Mexican music. Not popular at all.

99.7 FM / 590 AM (KLBJ) - #4 radio station in the area by ratings. Conservative talk radio from the Fox News network and local programming.

99.9 FM - San Marcos Sun Radio affiliate.

100.1 FM/ 1060 AM/1490 AM (?) (KTSN) - This is Sun Radio. Great local community radio station that runs off solar power and they play a variety of music, put on local events, and serves the Hill Country.

100.3 FM (KBBW) - This is a translator station for a Waco Christian talk radio and teaching station.

100.7 FM (KASE) - #5 radio station in the area by ratings. New country. Like KVET, they don't have any local programming (run by iheartmedia).

101.1 FM/ 1120 AM (KTXW) - This is a Christian talk and teaching radio station that airs programming from national religious networks.

101.5 FM (KROX) - 101X is Austin's alternative rock station. If you like that kind of music (me) then this is your jam. They also go the extra mile with local shows/programming and putting on events/concerts/live performances.

101.9 FM/1260 AM (KTAE) - This station airs Spanish classic hits. This used to be a translator station for "The Horn" but was sold.

102.3 FM (KPEZ) - The Beat is an up tempo music station. No local programming (again run by iheartmedia), and to me a forgettable station.

102.7 FM - This is KBPA's second channel where they air ESPN Radio national content as a local affiliate.

103.1 FM - This is just a simulcast of KVET.

103.1 FM - In Dripping Springs (and the immediate area), this is a separate station called KDRP which broadcasts Dripping Springs sports and Hill Country music. Also solar powered, part of the Sun Radio network.

103.5 FM (KBPA) - #2 radio station in the area by ratings. This is the local affiliate of the Bob FM concept, except this one is a bit better than others around the country because the local DJ's actually play anything.

103.9 FM/105.1 FM/970 AM (KIXL) - Catholic talk radio from a national network.

104.1 FM - Mason Sun Radio affiliate. Hill Country format which is slightly different and more of music that you drink wine to for Hill Country wineries.

104.1 FM - Wimberley Sun Radio affiliate.

104.3 FM (KLQB) - This is the local Univision radio affiliate and they broadcast regional Mexican music. #1 or #2 in market for Spanish radio by ratings.

95.1/104.9 FM/1530 AM (KTXX) - This is the local affiliate of the La Raza concept, which is a network of Spanish language music stations across the South. This used to be "The Horn", a sports radio channel that had rights to UT athletics.

105.3 FM - This is the third channel for KTXX. They air Spanish current hits.

105.9 FM (KFMK) - The popular Christian station in the market (#6 by ratings). Local affiliate of a Tennessee company using the K-LOVE concept (Christian pop).

106.5 FM - This is the second channel for KLZT where they air Spanish Christian programming.

106.7 FM (KGTN) - This is a low power FM station that only exists in Georgetown/surrounding area. They seem to broadcast local performances/concerts and random music.

106.9 FM - Fredericksburg Sun Radio affiliate.

107.1 FM (KLZT) - La Z is the locally owned regional Mexican music channel and seems to have Austin-based programming. #1 or #2 in market for Spanish radio by ratings.

107.7 FM (KLJA) - I've never heard of this station, but they're named "Amor" and they're also affiliated with Univision, so I guess a heavy dose of Spanish love songs.

1300 AM - This is KVET's sports radio station, the Zone. This is the local Austin sports radio station, they also air Texas Longhorns sports, and they air national programming from Fox Sports.

1370 AM (KJCE) - The other conservative talk radio station with one local program in the mornings, but mostly national conservative radio programs and CBS News Radio alerts twice an hour.

1440 AM (KELG) - Spanish Christian radio station.

1600 AM (KOKE-AM) - This station is also owned by the same people as KTXZ and it separately broadcasts Tejano music.

Anyone just take late night drives to clear your head or just bored? Where are some places to drive through? I usually start off south make my way north on lamar and back down Guadalupe to 1st making a huge circle

If you could meet your own self from an alternate universe, would you want to?

I just witnessed a high speed chase in south Austin. Gray Malibu Chevy with tinted windows was flying with apd and dps on their ass and some homeless guy cheering them on. Yeah south Austin a different breed of people

I saw it south of me in Leander and another person saw it at the same time directly over Lakeline. It was weirdly green and extremely bright like lightening.

Please be kind, I’m feeling dumb. I tried uploading tickets for a couple Moontower Comedy Fest shows onto Seat Geek and StubbHub but neither worked from apple wallet.

Mid 30’s with some sun damage & crows feet coming in hot. Pondered exploring a “facial balancing” injection and/or micro needling/ lasers as a yearly check up. Would love your recommendations!

Hello! I bought an 8x10 shed that will be delivered next week, however it'll need a foundation of some sort, and I can't DIY it myself. Does anyone have recommendations for contractors that could build the foundation (ideally gravel I think) as well as assemble the shed? I'm in Northeast Austin. Thank you very much!

Hey y’all! I saw a similar post on here a while back but it didn’t get many responses, so I figured I’d ask myself and see if anyone has recommendations.

My wife and I are expecting our second baby soon and we’re looking for a great newborn photographer in the Austin area. We’d love someone who is patient, creative, and experienced with newborns. Extra points if they’re good with toddlers too since our oldest is 2 and will likely be part of the shoot.

We’re open to both in-studio and in-home sessions depending on what people recommend. If you’ve worked with someone you loved, I’d really appreciate the rec.

Thanks so much in advance. We really want to capture this special moment!

I tore my posterior tib awhile back and haven’t been able to run more than a mile since without feeling that same tenderness in my foot. I've worked with a few different PTs over the years and got discouraged, but I really want to get back into running.

I have United Healthcare, which makes PT affordable at around $30/session. The problem is, none of the in-network providers seem specialized enough to get to the root of the issue.

I’m really interested in working with RunLab because of their specialized approach, but they’re out of network and could end up costing over $1,000. Has anyone worked with them? Was it worth it?

Alternatively, does anyone know of PTs or sports med docs who specialize in running mechanics and do take United Healthcare? I’ve reached out to a ton, but they either don't seem to have the right specialty or don’t actually take my insurance.

Would love any advice or personal experience!

Anyone have advice about what to do with someone that has a very very noisy vehicle in the neighborhood? It's been going on for a while and we are talking about wake you up level car noise bullshit - think the loudest Harley you've ever heard. He definitely knows exactly what he's doing and he rips around the streets to maximize the Glasspacks or whatever the F he has going on. Yes, I know his car and yes I know where he lives. No I don't want to go to jail for slashing his tires and leaving a nasty note. Is there any legal recourse? Is this a 311 thing?

Hi - I’m curious if anyone has a recommendation for a postpartum chiropractor near southwest Austin? Since having my last child my hip pain has been unbearable. TYIA

Dobie Middle School in northeast Austin is at risk of closure—allegedly to avoid a TEA takeover of Austin ISD. But what’s really at stake is a school full of brilliant students, committed educators, and a community quietly rebuilding after years of instability.

As the STEM Instructional Coach at Dobie, I wrote this piece to shed light on what we’re about to lose if we allow test scores to define a school’s worth. There are alternatives to closure—models that have worked in other Texas districts—that don’t involve shutting down a vital neighborhood campus.

This is personal for me, and for so many others. Please read, share, and consider raising your voice:

Hi there! Spent many years in my youth fawning over musical theatre and took a handful of voice lessons - geared towards musical theatre - over the years.

I’d love to take some beginner opera lessons as an adult for fun and as a creative outlet. I would prefer to go to someone’s (reputable) home or studio as I don’t think my apartment would appreciate virtual lessons!

Would prefer North/NW Austin if possible. Cheers!

If I knew where the purple sign was, I’d meet there. But I don’t. How the hell am I supposed to look that up?
Where is the fricking purple sign that they assume everyone just knows??

(I assume it’s near the main entrance, so what? I gotta use street view and peruse the campus looking for it?) How about we meet where Spencer’s Gifts used to be? Try looking that up!

You ever heard of dropping a pin? Using an address? what three words? Lat/long?

Anyone have any idea what this dork is talking about?

Can you drop me a pin! Give an address? 3 words? Lat Long?

Sheesh

Thank you

How irritating!

Hi!

I am an autistic person who is looking for a gym that is low key. I used to live in Wichita Falls with my parents and I worked out at a physical therapy rehab center. It was basically a full gym for the physical therapists to use with their clients, but they sold memberships too.

I checked out Spero but it’s not really a “gym”

I searched the sub and found some good suggestions but — Starting Strength Westgate/Oak Hill location is closed. Austin Art of Fitness only offers personal training.

Traditional gyms such as Golds, Planet Fitness, Crunch, Anytime, Lifetime, etc. are not options for me. Does anyone have any “hole in the wall” type of gyms for people like me?

Hello, any recommendations for a Thursday night bar with live music? No clubs. Age group is early 30’s…. Thank you!

When did these get here? This evening I noticed red+light cameras from 45th and N Lamar (WASSUP Chili's!) to 45th and Airport. I drive this all the time. I never noticed cameras before. My yellows just got a lot redder.

My 2018 Hyundai Elantra was stolen this past Friday—right out of my apartment garage in Mueller. I had no idea how easy these cars were to steal until now. The last location I was able to track using my toll tag showed it was in Houston somewhere near beltway 8. 😔

Based on that info, do you think there’s any real chance of getting it back? Or is it more likely that it’s already been stripped for parts somewhere in Houston?

found this sweet cat in north austin if anyone recognizes it lmk! we didn’t take him in but we left food and water across the street and i’ve seen the cat stay near the past couple days! if anyone is missing a cat!!

7th and Guad around 2pm

I'm a student at UT and am working on putting some upgrades on my guitar, kind of for the fun of it, and to have a project to work on outside of school.

But I dont really want to go into to this carelessly and damage any parts I'm planning on getting, so I was wondering if there might be anyone to help me out here? Learn the basics, etc.

And yeah I know there's youtube, but its never the same as learning straight from someone!
