KRXO-FM (107.7 FM) is a sports radio station serving the Oklahoma City area and is owned by Ty and Tony Tyler's Tyler Media, L.L.C. Its transmitter and studios are located (separately) in the northeast side of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
On September 16, 2015, Tyler Media filed to change the call sign to "KRXO-FM" and to put the "KRXO" call sign in Tulsa. The call sign change to KRXO-FM occurred on September 23, 2015.
The station began broadcasting in 1976 with the call letters KAEZ ("Eazy 107") and played a format that included a mix of urban contemporary, soul, jazz and blues. The station played very little hip hop or (rap) in the early 1980s, you could say that KAEZ was labeled as the Black Jack-FM because of the variety of Black music the station played and the obscure music mix it had at the time, playing everything from R&B to Jazz, even some music from the 40's and 50's. KAEZ remained on the air until November 1985 when the station had a fire that silenced the station along with going bankrupt causing the station to be sold to Price Communications. The callsign was changed to KIMY ("My 107.7") and played adult contemporary until August 1987 when it switched to classic rock as KRXO.
On July 10, 2013, Tyler Media announced that a Sports format, known as "107.7 The Franchise" will replace the station's longtime Classic Rock format. That format, along with KRXO's airstaff will move to KRXO HD-2 side channel which will also be simulcasted on an FM translator at 104.5 K283BW. Programming on the new format will include OU sports, NFL games on Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights. Additional programming will be from Dial Global's NBC Sports Radio Network.
