History
[edit]KXOJ-FM signed on the air on February 22, 1977.[2] It originally broadcast at 100.9 MHz and was the sister station of KXOJ 1550 AM (now KYAL). The stations were originally located in Sapulpa. For its first several decades, it went through several formats and call sign changes, even playing classical music for several years. It also switched its city of license for a while to Okmulgee, Oklahoma.
In 1996, KCFM sold to Shamrock Communications (a division of Times-Shamrock Communications) for $1.8 million.[3]
In 2000, the station's call letters were KTSO, which stood for Tulsa's Soft Oldies.
On November 22, 2012, KTSO started playing all Christmas music, calling itself "Tulsa's Official Christmas Station." After the holidays, it returned to playing the hits of the 1960s, 70s & 80s.
On April 25, 2013, it was announced that Stephens Media Group would acquire KTSO and KMYZ-FM from Times-Shamrock; the sale was completed in October for $8.5 million.[4][5]
On July 1, 2013, KTSO changed its format to adult contemporary music, branded as "94.1 The Breeze".[6]
KTSO and KXOJ swapped their formats and call letters the morning of August 16, 2016 to increase the overall reach of KXOJ-FM's Christian AC format throughout the Tulsa area, with 94.1's 100,000 watts providing more signal range than the traditionally limited range of 100.9.[7]
