Longtime 89.3 KSBJ personality Bill Ingram was honored with a special recognition for his incredible contributions to radio and the Houston community.
On October 14, 2026, Montgomery County, the City of Humble, the City of Houston, and the State of Texas officially proclaimed October 14 as Bill Ingram Day in recognition of his decades of service in broadcasting.
With 50 years in radio, 30 of them at KSBJ, and an induction into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in 2017, Ingram has built a remarkable career connecting with listeners and serving his community. It this means anything, even my teenagers know who he is!
The celebration was organized as a surprise. Ingram thought he was attending a regular staff meeting, but his family was in on the special occasion as community and government leaders gathered to recognize his accomplishments.
Montgomery County Judge Mark J. Keough presented a proclamation honoring Ingram for his extraordinary contributions to broadcasting. Additional proclamations came from the City of Humble, represented by Mayor Norman Funderburk, the City of Houston, with a proclamation signed by Mayor John Whitmire, and the State of Texas, with a proclamation signed by Governor Greg Abbott.
Each proclamation recognized October 14, 2026, as Bill Ingram Day.
Overwhelmed by the recognition, Ingram shared what KSBJ means to him.
"KSBJ is not just a place where I work," Ingram said. "It is my family. I'm really just so overwhelmed, I don't know what to say. I really am."
Ingram joined KSBJ in 1997 and has worn many hats throughout his 50-year broadcasting career, including music director, morning show personality and national network anchor. Today, he serves as the station's traffic anchor during its morning and afternoon shows, helping Houston-area listeners navigate the region's busy roadways.
Despite his extensive experience, Ingram is known for his friendly, down-to-earth personality and genuine care for others. When he's not keeping listeners informed about traffic, he enjoys country living near Cleveland, Texas, with his wife and best friend, Leitha. The couple enjoys fishing and spending time with family.
(Thanks, Kirby!)
