OKC Radio?

[TonyJames]

Hey Whats Up Oklahomians! (is that such a word)!

I was passin through OKC not to long ago and have a question bout'
101.9 The Twister-what a great station. Can anyone tell me how new that station is? Kinda wired to see how 101.9 holds up with sister KXY 96.1 (which I thought was OK). Does 101.9 play any old stuff like early 90's tracks very frequently? Or do they just focus on whats HOT today!

Also listened to KJ103-What a different CHR station. I dont no what it is the djs or the name?

I only listened to a few stations though because I could not get some on my walkman like Wild and KING in OKC.

Actually, it's Oklahomans.

It signed on in December 1993 after Steve Robertson's Newmarket purchased oldies KOQL 101.9 "Kool 102" from Entercom. Newmarket kept it oldies for about three weeks before flipping it to country. For a few months, it was also a sister station to KEBC 94.7, which has had several flips since dumping country in 1996.

Don't know. Don't really listen too much. I know the last time I was in OKC (about two months ago), the cop I was riding with while looking for the guy who tried to mug me in Bricktown was listening. However, after having been punched twice in the face and chased a half a block by someone with a knife, the song selection on the radio wasn't exactly on my mind!

Kind of surprised you couldn't get KKNG on your Walkman. Wild doesn't surprise me much, though.

Actually no.

Oklahomans.

OK?

The "Oklahoma is OK" car tag slogan was lame, however.

Made Oklahoma sound average or mediocre.

Yeah, well, for a while there, the state of Idaho had a slogan on their license plates that read: Famous Potatoes

.......Now that was lame! Yes, they do grow potatoes there, this is true, but still a pretty lame slogan, nevertheless!

In fact I count 31 Idaho plates. And Famous Potatos is still available.
Amateur Radio is one of them.

I checked that site. What an impressive display/selection of plates!

I do like the fact that Idaho plates look very patriotic with their red-white-and-blue color scheme. I just think that "Famous Potatoes" is like Kansas having "Famous Sunflowers" on their plates (Which Kansas doesn't have, thank God!). It's a lame slogan.
