KLUX FM 89.5

Operating as a non-commercial FM station at 89.5 MHz, this broadcaster is owned by the Diocesan Telecommunications Corporation, a body that functions as part of the Diocese of Corpus Christi in South Texas. The station's studios are located at the Our Lady of Corpus Christi Retreat Center on Lantana Street off Interstate 37, with its transmitter positioned on County Road 34 near Robstown. The station carries a secular light adult music format as its primary programming, distinguishing itself from explicitly religious broadcasters while remaining guided by Catholic institutional values. Its stated mission is to provide positive, wholesome programming that promotes Judeo-Christian values and Roman Catholic Church precepts to the broadest possible audience, complemented by community-responsive programming as required by FCC regulations. Easy listening music forms the backbone of its schedule, interspersed with health topics and faith-oriented messages. The station received its construction permit in February 1984, with the name KLUX chosen to reflect the Latin word for light, positioning it as the "Light of the Coastal Bend." It began broadcasting on March 13, 1985, initially incorporating Spanish-language segments in the early afternoon to serve the bilingual regional audience. Establishment of the station was supported by an $860,000 grant from the John G. and Maria Stella Kenedy Foundation. The station also broadcasts Relevant Radio content via an HD Radio subchannel.
