The HD2 digital subchannel airs an alternative rock format under the brand 92.9 The Edge, which is simulcast over analog translator K225BN (92.9 FM).
KTEA-FM was a standalone FM station originally owned by Midwest Stereo Broadcasting Company, a consortium of local investors.
KTEA-FM was originally set to sign-on "on or about July 15", according to advertisements the station placed in The Daily Oklahoman.
[5] The station's original format included "county [sic] and western, classical and popular music," as Kennamer Jr.
In February 1968, House of Sound sold KXLS to Dawson Communications, Inc., operating as Capitol Broadcasting, Inc.[9] The sale was finalized July 3, 1968.
That same day, Swanco changed the call letters to KKNG, airing a beautiful music format branded as KING Stereo 92.
Randy Anson, the program director of Swanco's WBYU in New Orleans, relocated to Oklahoma City to assume those same duties at KKNG.
[12][13] The transmitter moved to the Northeast Oklahoma City antenna farm in 1976, teaming up with KAFG to build a new 1,000-foot tower at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Kelley Avenue.
[2] Swanson sold KKNG and sister stations KRMG in Tulsa and KKYX-KLLS in San Antonio to New City Communications in a $20 million package deal that closed in early 1988.
Jonathan Monk and Diana Kelly were brought in to host morning drive, while Brian Schiel joined from Topeka's KLZR for nights.
KOMA (AM) continued its simulcast of its FM sister until February 2003, when it was decided that the 50,000-watt AM station would better serve the public as a news/talk outlet, now known as KOKC.
While The Love Station is still the licensee for the translator, they began to lease it to Tyler Media in February 2014, who originally used it as an FM simulcast of KOKC.
[26] On June 4, 2015, the KOKC simulcast was replaced with the current classic hip-hop programming, branded as V103 with KOMA-HD3 now serving as the parent station.
Core artists include Tupac, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Dr. Dre, Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Kim, and Usher, among others.
