KVSP (Power 103.5) is a Mainstream Urban radio station serving the Oklahoma City area and Central Oklahoma. Licensed to Anadarko, it is owned by the locally based Perry Broadcasting. Its studios are located at Perry Plaza II in the Eastside district of Oklahoma City and its transmitter is located in Alfalfa, Oklahoma. The tower the transmitter antenna is located on is the tallest structure in the state of Oklahoma, although Oklahoma City itself is in the "distant" area of the coverage area, according to Radio-Locator.com.[1]. This is due to the 103.5 frequency being four spaces away from the 104.1 frequency in Oklahoma City, making it difficult to properly cover the market.
KRPT-FM went on the air as a Country station in 1981 serving the Anadarko area. The station later changed its calls to KRMP in March 2003 and became known as "Superstar Country 103.5." The station moved to southwest of Oklahoma City from Anadarko in July 2004 and became KVSP "Power 103.5" with an Mainstream Urban format making it Oklahoma City's first Urban station on the FM dial since KAEZ (Now Classic rock KRXO-FM) departed in 1985.
Meanwhile, KVSP was launched as an Urban Contemporary radio station in 1993 on 1140 AM and was called Power Jammin' 1140. It was the first African American-owned and operated station under Perry Broadcasting's ownership as the Oklahoma radio market was not serving the Black community too well at the time based on Perry's perceptions; Perry would later acquire and launch sister station KJMM in Tulsa the year after as part of the "Power Jammin' Network". For years KVSP played Hip Hop, R&B, Old School/Classic Soul and Gospel for years, and was the home of the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
