Project 612 Ave 0 (Facade and Permittable)
RAMAR Communications, Inc. at 612 Ave 0 is making improvements to both the interior and exterior of
their property, located in the Downtown TIF.
RAMAR Communications was founded in 1972 with the startup of radio station KTEZ-FM 101.1 by Ray
Moran and was originally housed in the Plains National Bank Building. It was sold in 1983 to help fund
the startup of KJTV-TV, which was established in 1981 as an independent television station. The station's
success eventually gave way to the FOX network, founded in 1986. That same year, RAMAR moved into
its 33,000 sq. ft. building at 98th and University under the helm of the founder's son, Brad Moran. In
1993, two radio stations, AM 950 and FM 93.7, were added back into the operation and by the end of the
decade, RAMAR added FM stations 97.3, 106.5. 2016 and 107.7. RAMAR sold the TV business in 2020 but
retained its land and towers at 98th and University. RAMAR now operates Double T 97.3, Magic 106.5,
93.7 The Eagle,107.7 YES! FM,100.7 The Score, Oldies 97.7, 96.9 The Bull, 93.1 Texas FM and 92.3 The
Vibe. In 2022, RAMAR Communications will move into its new studios in downtown Lubbock at 620 Ave
0.
The scope of fagade work will include landscaping, new fencing and gates totaling $79,250 in fagade
expenses. The scope of permittable work will include demolition, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and
structural work totaling $1,124,054. Total expenses for this project total $1,203,304.
The MLI Board is being asked to consider a Downtown Fagade Grant for RAMAR Communications, Inc.
totaling $25,000 and a Downtown Permittable Grant of $100,000 at 612 Ave 0.
