KXOJ Tulsa Prepping Move To 94.1 (original) (raw)
Stephens Media Christian AC 100.9 KXOJ-FM Sapulpa/Tulsa OK announced this morning that it will relocate its programming to what is now sister AC “94.1 The Breeze” KTSO Glenpool on Tuesday, August 16 at 7:30am.
The move places the KXOJ programming on the 100kW Class C1 signal of 94.1 as opposed to the recently upgraded 19kW Class C3 100.9 signal where it will better reach the rural areas surrounding Tulsa. Owner David Stephens made the announcement this morning during KXOJ’s morning show.
No plans have been announced for the 100.9 frequency, however it appears the current AC format of KTSO will not survive the move as no corresponding move has been announced.
After broadcasting on 100.9 FM for over thirty-nine years, national award winning radio station, KXOJ, is changing frequency to 94.1 FM, effective August 16th at 7:30 AM. This move allows KXOJ to broadcast with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts, the maximum allowed by the Federal Communications Commission.
“Changing frequency to 94.1 FM allows KXOJ to reach more people, in more areas, with a more consistent signal. Making the change enhances the core purpose of the radio station, which is to get Contemporary Christian Music in as many ears as possible,” said KXOJ owner, David Stephens.
Currently, KXOJ broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 19,000 watts. The move to 94.1 FM represents a power increase of over 400%.
There are no other changes planned for the radio station, however, KXOJ’s move to 94.1 FM will launch with a multi-media campaign, and incentives for listeners to migrate over to the new frequency.
