OKC Radio: Tyler Media Plans Sports Station

Moving To 104.5 FM Translator
The already crowded sports talk market in Oklahoma City soon will be getting its sixth sports talk station. Tyler Media has announced that it is launching a sports talk radio station in August on FM 107.7, according to newsok.com.

Classic Rock KRXO, which had been at 107.7, will move to a new frequency at FM 104.5, the company announced. 

According to the news release, KRXO's lineup of Bob and Tom, Cara Rice, Buddy Wiley, Kelso, Unkle Dave and Rick Caldwell are expected to move to a much smaller signal on 104.5, a new translator.. 

Ty Tyler, president of Tyler Media, said it is in the process of hiring local sports talent from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. for the new unnamed station on 107.7 FM, which he said will have the strongest signal in the market. The station will include play-by-play of OU sports and be associated with NBC Sports.

107.7 FM 60dBu Coverage Area
The addition of 104.5 will give Tyler Media six FM signals in the market, one above the normal limit. However, Tyler said the FCC allows an HD channel to be rebroadcast by a FM frequency. KRXO will be broadcast on both 107.7 HD2 and translator 104.5 FM. The sports station will be broadcast on 107.7 HD1 and 107.7 FM.
