KCBI/Dallas All Teaching Channel can now be heard at 102.5 FM in Dallas County, expanding access to solid biblical teaching in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Dallas County is home to approximately 2.8 million people. 102.5 FM gives KCBI’s All Teaching Channel a strong new local FM presence in the most populous county in North Texas.

“This is a significant step in the reach of this ministry,” said Matt Austin, KCBI General Manager and Vice President of Operations. “God continues to open doors and expand the opportunity for listeners to hear trusted Bible teachers on a local FM signal.”

“We are especially excited about what this means for our teaching partners,” said Austin. “Programs that have traditionally been available through HD Radio, streaming and other platforms now have an FM signal that is accessible to a much broader audience.”

“We are praying for listeners who will now hear the truth of God’s Word through 102.5 FM,” said Sharon Geiger, Senior Director of Network Operations. “We are claiming the promise of Isaiah 55:11, ‘So shall My word be that goes out from My mouth; it … shall accomplish that which I purpose.’”

And the expansion is continuing. KCBI anticipates moving 770 AM to its full market location this fall, airing the All Teaching Channel, in the coming months, further expanding its availability.

“This is another example of how God continues to open doors for KCBI,” said Austin. “We’re not simply adding signals – we’re creating more opportunities for people to encounter God’s Word.”

KCBI’s All Teaching Channel is now available at 90.9/92.9 HD2, Dallas/Waco, 102.5 FM Dallas County, online and through the KCBI mobile app.
