, (no relation to the newspaper owner) and has been on the air since 1977.
KXOJ broadcasts from a tiny (by modern broadcasting standards) 361-foot tower near Sapulpa. Combined with its 5,000-watt ERP, this results in a much weaker signal compared to the other major Tulsa stations. Several inner-ring Tulsa suburbs such as Broken Arrow
, Claremore
and Okmulgee
get only a grade B signal. Despite these signal limitations, it is one of the most popular radio stations in Tulsa, and has also won three Dove Awards as Station of the Year.
KXOJ's on-air lineup includes Craig West and Heather Miles each morning from 6-10am. They are a consistently top-rated morning show in the Tulsa market, with tenures of 10 and 5 years, respectively.
