This article is about the FM Radio station. For the AM Radio station formerly known as AM 1520 KOMA, see KOKC (AM)
KOMA (92.5 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Locally owned by Tyler Media, the station's studios are located in Northeast Oklahoma City.
KOMA broadcasts a classic hits music format featuring popular songs from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
92.5 was first known as KXLS in 1966. The easy listening music formatted station was owned by Bob Williams, the owner of a high-end sound store. Williams' transmitter and studio combo were located near N. 50th and Santa Fe in Oklahoma City. In the late sixties, KXLS-FM was owned by Bill Dawson's, Dawson Communications, Inc. which also owned (at that time) KMOD-FM, Tulsa, OK, KXXK-FM, Dallas, TX, and KMSC-FM, Houston, TX.
The call letters were changed once again in 1973 to KKNG while owned by Swanson Broadcasting. The easy listening format remained in place until the early 1990s. The owners at the time, Wilks Schwartz Broadcasting, determined they wanted to take the station more toward an adult contemporary format to compete with KMGL.
The KOMA call letters made the transition to 92.5 FM on June 22, 1992, after Chicago-based Diamond Broadcasting (then owner) entered a local marketing agreement with Wilks Schwartz Broadcasting.
1520 KOMA continued its simulcast of its FM sister until February, 2003, when it was decided that the 50,000 watt AM station would better serve the public as a News/Talk outlet, now known as KOKC.
KOMA along with sister station KRXO-FM broadcast on HD Radio. KOMA airs an alternative rock format on its HD2 subchannel (as "92.9 The Edge" (simulcast on translator K225BN 92.9 FM Oklahoma City) and airs a classic hip hop format on its HD3 subchannel (as V103, simulcast on translator K276EX 103.1 Oklahoma City).
