KOOQ (1410 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format to the North Platte, Nebraska, United States, area. The station was launched in January 1966 and is owned by Eagle Communications, Inc.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]KOOQ was originally launched under the call sign KNOP in January 1966. It was originally an affiliate of CBS Radio.[3]
In December 1968, it was announced that KNOP would drop CBS and would be changing to ABC effective January 1, 1969.[4]
In 1972, Dahl applied for the call sign to change from KNOP to KAHL.[5]
In 1982, Dahl filed an application with the FCC to sell controlling interest to Valley Communications, Inc.[6] On January 1, 1983, KAHL's call sign changed again to its current sign, KOOQ.[7]
In 2007, it was announced that KOOQ would be dropping Oldies and would be affiliating with ESPN Radio.[8]
On December 1, 2018, KOOQ dropped ESPN Radio and began stunting with Christmas music as "Reindeer Radio".[9]
On December 27, 2018, after almost a month-long stunting with Christmas music, the station's format was changed to classic hits under the branding FM 98.1/1410 AM, focusing on music from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
