KRMG is officially moving to 96.5 FM in Tulsa, giving the news/talk station a stronger signal. The frequency change takes effect Tuesday as Zoellner Media Group reshapes its local FM lineup.
What We Know: KRMG previously aired on 102.3 FM, but the station is now moving to 96.5 FM. The new home delivers a more powerful 100,000-watt signal across the Tulsa market. Meanwhile, the move gives KRMG expanded coverage and accessibility as the station looks to strengthen its position. The frequency realignment also involves Mix, which will continue as part of Zoellner Media Group’s Tulsa operations. As a result, listeners will need to retune from 102.3 FM to continue hearing KRMG on the FM band.
What They Said: “We are always looking for ways to better serve our listeners and our community. This frequency realignment allows us to strengthen our signal presence and ensure that both Mix and KRMG are positioned for continued growth and long-term success. It’s an exciting step forward for our company and for the audiences we serve.” -Zoellner Media Group owner Dr. Robert Zoellner
“This move is about maximizing opportunity for both our listeners and our advertising partners. By enhancing coverage and accessibility, we’re making it easier than ever for audiences to connect with the content they rely on every day. We’re incredibly excited about what this means for the future of both brands.” -General Manager Steve Hunter
What Remains Unclear: Zoellner Media Group has not detailed whether the move will lead to additional programming changes for KRMG or Mix. It also remains unclear how the new signal will affect listening patterns across specific parts of the Tulsa market.
What It Means: The move puts KRMG on a significantly stronger FM signal while giving the station a new position on the dial. More importantly, the 100,000-watt signal could improve reach for listeners and advertisers. For KRMG, the change represents an opportunity to build on its established presence while making the station easier to receive throughout the market.
