iHeartMedia launched Classic Rock “Q94.7” KOKQ Oklahoma City at midnight.
The new format is launching with a “Two-For Tuesday” playing back-to-back songs from artists from the iHeartMedia custom Classic Rock log featuring WFBQ Indianapolis afternoon host Dave ‘Gunner’ Gunn in mornings.
The move marks a return to Classic Rock to the signal that was previously “94.7 The Brew” from 2009 until its August 2021 flip to Sports “94.7 The Ref” KREF-FM. The station dropped the programming originating at Metro Radio Group’s 1400 KREF Norman in August at the expiration of their two year agreement and had been running the national Fox Sports Radio lineup since.
The move brings a full-signaled Classic Rock format back to Oklahoma City as the market previously was served by Tyler Media’s “104.5 KRXO” K283BW/KRXO-HD2 and Cumulus Media’s Rock 100.5 KATT. K283BW had a 1.0 share in the September 2023 Nielsen Audio ratings, while KATT is third in the market with a 6.1 share.
