KWEN
KWEN (95.5 FM) is a commercial radio station in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The station is owned by Zoellner Media Group and airs a country music radio format. The studios and offices are on Memorial Drive in Tulsa. The transmitter is on Route 97 in Sand Springs.
In 1961, the station first signed on as KRMG-FM, the FM counterpart of KRMG, owned by Swanco Broadcasting, and simulcasting the AM station's programming. At first, it broadcast at only 2,950 watts. A few years later, KRMG-FM began airing a beautiful music format, and in the mid-1970s, changed its call sign to KWEN.
Swanco also owned the similarly-formatted KKNG in Oklahoma City. The two FM sister stations were branded as the "King and Queen of Oklahoma," as the KWEN call letters were meant to suggest "Queen", while KKNG was "King." In the mid-1970s, KWEN's effective radiated power was boosted to 100,000 watts, though the tower was still only 300 feet in height above average terrain.
In 1977, the station was sold to Curtis Communications. In August 1978, the station changed formats to Top 40, and quickly came to dominate the market. In 1981, KWEN changed hands again, this time going to Katz Broadcasting. Katz flipped the station to country music. That put it in competition with KTFX (now co-owned classic rock KJSR) and AM country leader 1170 KVOO. As country music listening shifted from AM to FM, KWEN became Tulsa's top country outlet, forcing KVOO to switch to the FM dial at 98.5 FM.
In 1986, Katz Broadcasting was acquired by Newcity Communications. The following year, Newcity acquired KRMG, putting the two stations back under common ownership. It was also during the 1980s that KWEN got a boost in its antenna height, broadcasting from a tower more than 1,300 feet tall, with a signal stretching from the border of Kansas to the suburbs of Oklahoma City.
In 1997, Atlanta-based Cox Media acquired KWEN and KRMG. Cox eventually added three other FM stations and two TV stations to its Tulsa roster.
On May 19, 2025, Dr. Robert Zoellner's Zoellner Media Group entered in an agreement with Cox Media Group to acquire the company's radio cluster in Tulsa for $20 million. The sale was completed on August 15, 2025.[citation needed]
