KBAT, or K-BAT 99.9 is a radio station that serves the Midland–Odessa metropolitan area with active rock music. The station is under ownership of Cumulus Media. KBAT call letters were originally located on 93.3 FM and were moved over to 99.9 FM on September 13, 2005 to re-launch the rock station format the call letters had and made famous from 1985-1998. Re-launched on September 15, 2005 as "The Basin's Real Rock 99.9 K-BAT." You can listen to them online at http://player.cumulusstreaming.com/Audioplay.html?KBAT-FM.

Prior to changing to rock in September, 2005 the station was known as KGEE "Joy 99.9" and broadcast a contemporary Christian format for about a year. Prior to that, it had been country as KGEE "KG-100" since signing on in the early 1980s.

During the 60s KBAT-AM was a top 40 station broadcasting out of San Antonio Texas.

During the day it had a very strong signal, probably 50,000 watts, and could be heard clearly in Fort Hood Texas, over 100 miles away. It went to reduced power at sundown.
