KOMA (FM)
KOMA (92.5 MHz, "92.5 KOMA") is a classic hits formatted FM radio station serving the Oklahoma City area owned by Tyler Media, a locally based, family-owned company controlled by brothers Ty and Tony Tyler. The station's studios are located in Northeast Oklahoma City with a transmitter site located a mile east from the studio.
In addition to its standard analog transmission, KOMA broadcasts over three HD Radio channels. The HD2 digital subchannel airs an alternative rock format under the brand 92.9 The Edge, which is simulcast over analog translator K225BN (92.9 FM). The HD3 subchannel broadcasts a classic hip hop music format branded as V103, and is simulcast on analog translator K276EX (103.1 FM) and K277DD (103.3 FM).
92.5's history began when its initial construction permit was issued on April 29, 1964. The station bore the call letters KTEA-FM and was originally licensed to Midwest City. The station's studios and transmitter were originally co-located at 5926 Southeast 15th Drive in Midwest City. KTEA-FM was a standalone FM station originally owned by Midwest Stereo Broadcasting Company, a consortium of local investors. Initial investors included John Kennamer, Jr., John L. Kennamer, Sr., William D. Wilson, C.W. See, Lloyd Hines, and Melda V. Kennamer. KTEA-FM was originally set to sign-on "on or about July 15", according to advertisements the station placed in The Daily Oklahoman. July 15 had come and gone, and the station had yet to sign-on; it was now advertising that it would not sign-on until "early August". It would not be until November that the station would finally sign-on; the delay was caused by the station not receiving its transmitter until October 17.
The station's original format included "county [sic] and western, classical and popular music," as Kennamer Jr. explained. KTEA-FM also carried broadcasts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra via stereo tape. Station officials stated that the station cost $50,000 to put on-air.[citation needed]
The station would last about a year, as Midwest Stereo filed to transfer the station to the House of Sound Broadcasting Corporation on November 1, 1965. Midwest Stereo then took the station silent on January 19, 1966 as the new owners prepared to make major changes.
House of Sound officially took control of 92.5 on February 20, 1966, who wasted no time getting to work. House of Sound filed to move the city of license from Midwest City to Oklahoma City proper, which took effect on May 11. The studios and transmitter were also moved into Oklahoma City. After making technical upgrades to the facility, 92.5 signed back on the air on September 15 with the new call letters KXLS.
The station broadcast an easy listening music format under The Young Sound branding. KXLS was owned by Robert Williams, the owner of House of Sound, a high-end sound store. The transmitter and studio combo were located at 108 Northeast 48th Street in Oklahoma City.
In February 1968, House of Sound sold KXLS to Dawson Communications, Inc., operating as Capitol Broadcasting, Inc. The sale was finalized July 3, 1968. The easy listening format remained in place.
