KLRC Launches New Station Real FM

KLRC/Siloam Springs has launched a new radio station called 100.3 Real FM in Northwest Arkansas.

KRLY/Siloam Springs (100.3 Real FM) is a unique contemporary hit radio format playing a mix of refreshing mainstream and Christian pop and hip-hop from artists like NF, Forrest Frank, and Lecrae. The station has been serving listeners as an online stream and mobile app since September of 2017, but has now made the jump to terrestrial radio.

Ansen Bayer will serve as Program Director for 100.3 Real FM. “We are thrilled to bring 100.3 Real FM to the airwaves of Northwest Arkansas,” Bayer said. “This expansion will help us reach a new audience in Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and beyond, including parts of northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri, all in service of KLRC’s mission to share hope in Jesus with as many people as possible.”

Bayer will also host Afternoons on 100.3 Real FM. The syndicated Brant Hansen Show with Brant and Sherri will air during mornings. Isaac Weaver, who previously worked at KLRC, will return to host middays, and Zoe Moody, who also spent time at KLRC while a student, will host evenings. John Brown University work-study and practicum students will be heard from 10pm-12am.

90.9 KLRC hosted a special one-day on-air fundraiser for NWA Gives Day on Thursday, April 3rd to help fund the launch of the new station, and KLRC listeners generously donated over $60,000 in just a twelve hour period.

The Real FM website is at real.fm. KLRC and 100.3 Real FM are ministries of John Brown University.
