Program Overview
Tune in Monday-Friday from 3-6 Central for the latest in roots music, plus a focus on independent touring artists coming to the Houston area with a look ahead to the upcoming weekend and beyond. Border Radio features an eclectic mix of e

merging and essential artists in rock, folk, alternative country, blues, and world music. The program’s inspiration comes from the powerful “border blaster” radio stations that sprang up in Mexico in the early 1930s. These stations would broadcast a wild range of rock, country, blues and more, and their signals could be heard all over North America.
