WKY - WKY-FM

WKY-FM

WKY-FM was launched on July 1, 1947 at 98.9, (now sister station KYIS). The programming was classical or semi-classical music. A strong effort was made to minimize the duplication of WKY-AM programs and make WKY-FM a true second station.

By 1952, WKY management had to make a decision about keeping the station on the air or increasing the power of their new television tower. Since the FM dial was struggling during this time, radio lost out.

WKY-FM donated its transmitter and other equipment to the Oklahoma City Public School District and went off the air. The station received one letter of protest, that from a music lover in Norman, Oklahoma.
