TAB’s 2025 Radio Broadcaster of the Year goes to a special, local, owner/operator in his hometown of Gainesville.

Steve Eberhart has been in the industry for more than 50 years.

He spent 20 years at ABC Radio Network in Dallas – and then purchased his station – KGAF-AM – in 2008, snapping up an FM translator a few years later.

That’s the same station where he got his first job at 16!

Knowing the value of live and local Radio, he used his big city expertise to bring a major market sound to the small community near the Oklahoma border.

A news man and public servant at heart, he jumps into action when tornados threaten and routinely connects often distant lawmakers with their Cooke County constituents. 

Mild-mannered but resolute, he’s a powerful advocate before state lawmakers, members of Congress, U.S. Senators and governors.

Purchasing the remaining percentage this year, Steve wrangles it all as an owner/operator, host of the KGAF morning show, host of a syndicated oldies show called “Solid Gold Saturday,” and serves as a TAB Board Member.
