The transmitter is co-located with the tower for KOTV-DT, on South 273rd East Avenue near the Muskogee Turnpike in Broken Arrow.

It is licensed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to broadcast using HD Radio technology.

Tulsa Public Radio's KWGS 89.3 FM had a schedule of mostly news and information, with some classical programming.

Management wanted to create an all-classical station for music fans and allow KWGS to air a full time news and info schedule.

Because 88.7 and adjacent frequencies already had stations nearby, KWTU's 5,000 watt signal was the maximum allowed by the FCC.
