KROB (1510 AM, The Conjunto Station) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Tejano and Conjunto radio format.[2] It is licensed to Robstown, Texas, and serves the Corpus Christi metropolitan area. The station is owned by Claro Communications, AKA B Communications Joint Venture.[3]

KROB is a daytimer station. From sunrise to sunset, it is powered at 500 watts. But because 1510 AM is a clear-channel frequency, on which WLAC Nashville is the dominant Class A station, KROB must leave the air at night to prevent interference to the WLAC nighttime skywave signal. KROB programming is heard around the clock on two FM translators: K226CF at 93.1 MHz in Ingleside and K232DE at 94.3 MHz in Corpus Christi.
