KOTV (AM)

The station uses a non-directional antenna by day, heard over much of Eastern Oklahoma and parts of Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri.

At night, it uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array to protect the other Class A station on 1170 AM, WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia.

Even with this restriction, KOTV's nighttime signal can be heard over much of the Central United States and well into the Rocky Mountains with a good radio.

Rollestone, a young oil millionaire, had previously founded another station in Bristow known as KFRU, which had already been sold to Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri.

One of the places in Tulsa made famous by KVOO Radio was Cain's Ballroom, located on Main Street.

In addition, KVOO hosted The John Chick Show, a full hour of local country music talent, also seen on KTUL (channel 8) until 1979.

This program broadcast at 7 a.m., and regularly beat out NBC's Today Show and the CBS Morning News in the local ratings.

KTUL began carrying Good Morning America in 1979, when Chick left the station due to multiple sclerosis.

The last three songs O'Shea played were "Hello Out There" by Billy Parker, "T-U-L-S-A, Straight Ahead" by Ray Benson & Asleep at the Wheel and "Take Me Back To Tulsa" by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys.

In 2003, co-owned KXBL flipped to all-classic country music, playing many of the same songs KVOO AM aired in previous decades.

On June 26, 2018, Scripps announced that it would sell its Tulsa radio stations, including KFAQ, to Oklahoma City-based Griffin Communications for $12.5 million.

[4][5][6][7] Griffin began operating the stations under a local marketing agreement on July 30, and completed the purchase October 1.
