KSYB

KSYB is an American radio station licensed to Shreveport, Louisiana, and operating on the 1300 kHz AM frequency. The station serves the Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area and is identified on air as 1300 AM KSYB. Its programming is centered on gospel music, giving it a faith-oriented format within the local radio market. The station is owned by Amistad Communications, Inc. The facility's documented broadcast history includes an initial FCC call-sign assignment of KFLO on August 26, 1974. On July 27, 2002, the station adopted the KSYB call sign, which it continues to use. The available reference material does not establish the station's original launch date, founding personnel, early programming history, ownership chronology before Amistad Communications, or any separate corporate parent. As a local broadcast outlet, KSYB's principal offering is its radio service rather than a portfolio of consumer products. Its role is to distribute gospel music and related programming over AM radio to listeners in and around Shreveport and Bossier City. FCC licensing and public-inspection records provide the relevant regulatory and facility context for the station, while industry directories identify it as an AM station serving the local market. No verified information in the supplied materials supports claims about national operations, public-company status, financial performance, major advertising campaigns, executive leadership, acquisitions, lawsuits, recalls, scandals, or other corporate events.

KSYB is an AM radio station licensed to Shreveport, Louisiana. The station operates at 1300 kHz and serves the Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area. Its current broadcast identity is associated with gospel music programming, positioning it as a locally focused, faith-oriented radio outlet rather than a national media network or a broad-format entertainment brand. The station's FCC history begins with the assignment of the call sign KFLO on August 26, 1974. Call signs are the formal identifiers used for licensed broadcast facilities in the United States, and this assignment marks the earliest dated event supplied for the station's documented identity. The available material does not specify when the facility first went on the air, who founded it, what its original format was, or which owners controlled it during its earlier decades. On July 27, 2002, the station changed its call sign from KFLO to KSYB. The KSYB identity has since served as the station's principal public-facing designation, including the on-air form 1300 AM KSYB. The call-sign change represents the clearest documented branding transition in the station's history, although the supplied sources do not explain the strategic or programming reasons for the change. KSYB is owned by Amistad Communications, Inc. The station's business is primarily the operation of a licensed local broadcast facility: it distributes gospel music programming over AM radio and can provide local advertising and sponsorship opportunities. Its coverage and audience orientation are centered on the Shreveport–Bossier City market. FCC licensing records, the station's public inspection file, its facility history card, and industry station directories are the principal reference points for verifying technical, regulatory, and ownership information. No reliable source material supplied for this entry documents major campaigns, scandals, litigation, acquisitions, leadership changes, financial results, or national expansion. The station should therefore be understood as a local broadcast brand whose documented history is defined chiefly by its FCC call-sign assignment, its 2002 renaming to KSYB, its gospel format, its Shreveport license, and its ownership by Amistad Communications.
