It's The Eagle's Birthday this Saturday!  This will mark 24 years that Eagle 106.3 Texarkana's Classic Rock station has been rockin' the Texarkana area!

The Eagle signed on the air on this day back in 1995. All of us at The Eagle know it wouldn't be possible to be around this long without you, our listeners. So, thank you!
