KBRH (1260 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic rhythm and blues format in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. The station is owned by the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board and run by students at Baton Rouge Magnet High School alongside WBRH (90.3 FM).

Baton Rouge High has owned and operated this station since 1993, when it returned to the air after a silence of several years and the killing of its owner, who had been working to put it back into service following a bankruptcy. It had originally been established as WXOK in 1953; it became WAIL in 1966, as part of a frequency trade that moved WXOK to its present location at 1460 kHz, and WTKL in 1979.
