History

[edit | edit source]

WOAB signed on the air on July 9, 1967, with 2,850 watts of effective radiated power on 104.9 MHz.[1] Owned by the Ozark Broadcasting Company, this new FM station signed on as a separately-programmed sister station to WOZK (900 AM).[1] The station aired a primarily country music format through the 1970s.[4]

Effective July 7, 2021, Ozark Broadcasting sold WOAB, WOZK, and the construction permit for translator W252DV to Fred Dockins' Dockins Communications for $125,000.

On February 23, 2022 WOAB changed formats from oldies to country, branded as "Kickin' Country 104.9".[5]
