KTRL (90.5 MHz) is a noncommercial public radio station owned by Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. KTRL broadcasts to a 10–county area of the Cross Timbers just southwest of Fort Worth, Texas.[2] Its signal covers a population of about 200,000. The station is partnered with Texas A&M's KAMU-FM 90.9 FM, bringing a mix of public radio and student programming to the region.
KTRL and its sister station, KXTR-LP 100.7 FM, are operated by Tarleton State students under the supervision of a full-time instructor and manager. The studios and offices are in the Mathematics Building on the Tarleton campus. Tarleton State is one of three universities in Texas to own and operate two radio stations, the other institutions being Texas Tech University and the University of Texas at Austin.[3]
