Jon and Alyssa Garrett are the proud owners of Hometown Radio KBEC and The Historic Texas Theater, two of Waxahachie’s most cherished institutions. In 2022, they purchased KBEC—a station Jon has been connected to for most of his life. Jon first began at KBEC as a teenager, working on the air and becoming woven into the fabric of the station’s history and legacy. His longtime passion for broadcasting, paired with Alyssa’s dedication to local arts and family-centered community events, continues to guide the station into a vibrant new era.
Beyond radio, Jon and Alyssa are deeply committed to preserving and growing Waxahachie and Ellis County’s sense of community. Their stewardship of The Texas Theater has brought new life to one of the county’s most iconic venues, creating space for live music, local talent, family entertainment, and cultural celebrations.
Parents to four wonderful children, the Garretts are truly a huge part of the local community—supporting hometown businesses, championing local artists, and ensuring that Ellis County’s stories, history, and people remain at the heart of everything they do.
