KPBR (90.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to Poplar Bluff, Missouri, United States. It is part of the Bott Radio Network and is one of Bott's two transmitters in the city, alongside KLUH (91.7 FM). Until 2026, it was a local Christian radio station with the KLUH call sign.
History In 1988, Christian Educational Advancement Inc. put this station on the air as KLUH at 90.5 MHz, affiliated with the local Christian school American Christian Academy. The station aired alternating blocks of religious preaching and gospel music and broadcast from a studio on 11th Street. The call sign was derived from Christian symbols, as explained in a poem by founding leader Donald Parsons:
The station relocated to property on County Road 307 in 1990 and replaced its transmitter facility with a taller tower and higher power level. In 1995, the station was sold to Victory Communications of Portageville.
In 2025, the Bott Radio Network purchased the 90.3 facility from David Craig Ministries. Bott exchanged the call sign with that of KPBR (91.7 FM) after the change.
