KQOB
KQOB (96.9 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Enid, Oklahoma, and serving the Oklahoma City Metroplex. It is owned by Champlin Broadcasting and calls itself Freedom 96.9. KQOB airs a talk radio format with studios and offices on NW 64th Street in Oklahoma City.
KQOB is a Class C FM station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 98,000 watts (100,000 with beam tilt). The transmitter is on North 2980 Road in Crescent, Oklahoma, about 25 miles north of Oklahoma City.
The station signed on the air on May 1, 1967. The original call sign was KCRC-FM, the FM counterpart to KCRC. KCRC-FM was separately programmed with a beautiful music format, playing quarter hour sweeps of mostly instrumental cover versions of popular songs. It later switched its call letters to KNID and had a mostly country format until 2000. On July 12, 2000, the station changed its call sign to KMKZ.
On November 24, 2000, its call sign became KMMZ. It moved to a tower closer to Oklahoma City, changed its slogan to "Memories 96.9", and began using the ABC Network’s “Memories” network for its programming.
KMMZ began stunting on November 13, 2002, and adopted the slogan “The Bull's Oklahoma Christmas”, playing Christmas music by country artists. On December 26, 2002, the station adopted “The Bull” slogan and Red Dirt Country format from then-KQBL (104.9 FM). The station began using the KQBL call sign on September 1, 2003.
The station began stunting again at 9 a.m. on November 3, 2003 with a brief all-comedy format. At 10:45 that morning, the station became "96.9 BOB FM" with an adult hits format. The station switched call letters to KQOB on December 8, 2003.
On June 10, 2015, KQOB dropped the "Bob FM" branding and rebranded as "Classic Rock 96.9". It began playing classic rock songs from the 1960s through the early 90s.
On November 23, 2015, at 7 p.m., after playing "That's All" by Genesis, KQOB began playing Christmas music as simply "96.9". The first song was "Christmas All Over Again" by Tom Petty. In addition to the change, Jack Elliott and Ron Williams, formerly of KYIS, became the station’s new morning show hosts beginning December 3.
