KBDG (90.9 FM) is a radio station in Turlock, California, United States. It is owned by the Assyrian American Civic Club of Turlock, Inc., and broadcasts a variety of Middle Eastern music, concentrating on Assyrian music.

History
Turlock High School obtained the permit for a new 10-watt educational radio station in town on December 19, 1975. It began operation on October 4, 1976. After 17 years, the high school sold the station off in 1993, with faculty advisor Bob Hoskins noting the school was more interested in starting a television production program. The Assyrian American Club bought the station for $17,000, fending off a rival bid from KADV (90.5 FM) in Modesto.
