KBPA (103.5 MHz, "103.5 Bob FM") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to San Marcos, Texas and serving the Greater Austin metropolitan area. The station is owned by Emmis Communications and uses the slogan "We play anything." Its format is adult hits, similar to other Bob FM stations across the country. Unlike some adult hits stations, KBPA uses DJs.
KBPA's transmitter is located off Jack C. Hays Trail in Buda, Texas. Its studios and offices are located along Interstate 35 in North Austin. Rhythmic contemporary/Dance music can be heard on KBPA's HD-2 channel, known as 'Mega 103-5 HD-2', also streaming on the internet.
In 2009, KBPA brought back KXMG's former Dance Top 40 format and placed it on its HD2 channel, calling it "Mega 103-5 HD-2." In 2010 the format returned to the terrestrial broadcasting airwaves as a simulcast, broadcasting on translator K288FJ at 105.5 FM in Bastrop, Texas. In November 2010 the HD2 signal began simulcasting over the air on 102.7 (K274AX), which is licensed to Austin and can be heard within the central business area. That simulcast ended on December 13, 2010 at 12:06 AM, with the translator going silent. At around 9 AM that day K274AX switched to a simulcast of adult album alternative-formatted KGSR 93.3 FM Cedar Park, Texas.
