Happy 25th Birthday to Texarkana’s Classic Rock Station Eagle 106.3

Happy Birthday to 106.3 The Eagle. Texarkana's Classic Rock station has been rockin' the area for 25 years today.

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