City of License: Oklahoma City

Notes: This station has a long history as one of Oklahoma City's dominant top-40 stations in the late 50s and the 60s (second to WKY). In the 80s, KOMA went country, then beautiful music/standards. The station flipped from "beautiful music" to "oldies"on September 23, 1988. Four years later, on June 22, 1992, they began simulcasting on the 92.5 FM frequency, later changing the call letters to KOMA-FM. Find more about KOMA-AM's history at these web sites:

In 2002, the station added Bill O'Reilly's talk show and started running CBS news at the top of the hour, indicating a move to a news talk format. The station was set to switch to news/talk on February 3, 2003. However, the Columbia Shuttle disaster prompted the station to begin news programming on February 1.
    In August 2004, Renda shocked the market by changing the call letters to KOKC (formerly held at Guthrie's 1490 facility since the 50s). The 92.5 frequency adjusted from KOMA-FM to just KOMA (without the -FM suffix).

In 2005, KOKC shifted from a news/talk outlet to mainly a talk outlet (minus the strong news presence).
