KUBJ (89.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Brenham, Texas, United States. The station is owned and operated by the KSBJ Educational Foundation.
KUBJ broadcasts its Christian rock and Christian hip-hop format as a simulcast of NGEN Radio from Humble. On July 2, 2012, KSBJ switched KUBJ along with three of its other translators to their sister station, NGEN Radio, after acquiring a new signal in South Houston (96.9 FM)
Prior to the switch, KUBJ was a simulcast of KSBJ and its contemporary Christian music format.
The American Family Association received the original construction permit for this station from the Federal Communications Commission on September 26, 2005. The new station was assigned the call sign KBEX by the FCC on October 10, 2005. Prior to the sign on of this station, KBEX had been used as a common stock call sign for fictional TV and radio stations in film, radio and television productions.
In December 2006, the American Family Association reached an agreement to sell KBEX to the Educational Media Foundation as part of an 18-station deal valued at a total of $2.5 million. The deal was approved by the FCC on February 7, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on March 23, 2007.
