Edwards Media adds KWBT-FM-HD2/Waco, TX to its broadcast group as "CBS Sports Central Texas," airing CBS Sports Radio's national, local sports/talk and play-by-play coverage. Additionally, the company will continue to operate the Hip Hop and R&B KWBT-FM (94.5 The Beat).

The weekday lineup includes Jim Rome from 11a-2pm, while local programming will air from 2-6pm with "Big Rich" a 16-year radio veteran hosting "Go Big or Go Home starting in Mid July." The station will also be the local affiliate for the NBA's Houston Rockets and well as carrying NFL football and NCAA football and basketball play-by-play.

GSM/Sports Director Rich Richardson said, "We look forward to the opportunity to change the sports radio scene in Central Texas with the best in local, national and play by play sports talk. The current situation in the country has changed the sports scene throughout the world, but there are more chances than ever for hosts and listeners to express their opinions, frustrations, even hypotheticals as to what happens next. As live sports come back, we plan to do our best to keep listeners informed and entertained on a weekly, daily, and hourly basis while still allowing them to voice their opinions."

"Sports are one of America's favorite pastimes and we are extremely excited to bring 94.5 HD 2 CBS Sports Radio Central Texas to listeners. Through our local programming we will be able to connect with our listeners on air and in the community," added Operations Manager Edward Graham.

94.5 HD2 CBS Sports Radio Central Texas will also be simulcast through its livestream on centexsportsone.com along with Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter at centexsports1.
