KSBJ can also be heard on several lower-powered repeaters as listed in the translators section of the Infobox. These stations cover both the Greater Houston area and other areas in Southeast Texas.

The KSBJ Educational Foundation owns and operates a youth-oriented Christian Contemporary/Hip-Hop music format, NGEN Radio, which, until the purchase of KXNG, primarily broadcast on KSBJ-HD2. Like its parent station, NGEN also has a network of repeaters covering a large portion of Southeast Texas. In 2016, KSBJ acquired radio station KXNG, becoming NGEN's first full-powered analog FM signal.
