What is The Llano Idea?
It is an extension of the West Texas spirit, creating something because you will it into existence. People settling in West Texas look for new opportunities in a place where they are free to pursue them, as members of this community we have internalized this ideal and we present you with our unique viewpoint.
It is taking pride in the unique culture of the area and the geographical borders that contain it. We aim to provide a voice for the vibrant artistic community of Lubbock and West Texas; to showcase to the world what makes our home such a special place.
We have created The Llano Idea because we wish to continue the work we have carried out in the last several years. We are not raising a white flag; we will continue to fight for terrestrial radio for all of the fans, staff, and artists that were part of KTXT-FM. The Llano Idea exists to provide the students from KTXT a place to continue to produce content, and to demonstrate our capabilities in a multimedia context. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive and we hope to merge The Llano Idea with student run radio at Texas Tech University. We will continue to fight for the reinstatement of KTXT-FM as an educational non-profit station dedicated to providing students with practical experience; while also providing a forum for the Texas Tech and Lubbock communities.
