History
KXOJ-FM signed on the air on February 22, 1977.[2] It originally broadcast at 100.9 MHz and was the sister station of KXOJ 1550 AM, now KYAL. The stations were originally located in Sapulpa. For its first several decades, it went through several formats and call sign changes, even playing classical music for several years. It also switched its city of license for a while to Okmulgee, Oklahoma.
In 2000, the station's call letters were KTSO. That stood for Tulsa's Soft Oldies.
On November 22, 2012, KTSO started playing all Christmas music, calling itself "Tulsa's Official Christmas Station." After the holidays, it returned to playing the hits of the 1960s, 70s & 80s.
Before August 16, 2016, KXOJ-FM was located at 100.9. The morning DJs were Dave Weston and Katie Rindt. Other veteran announcers included Bob Michaels, who joined the station in 1998, and Gary Thompson who began intermittently working there in the early 1990s. After many years in morning drive, Heather Miles moved to the midday shift in January 2016. Jeremiah St. James joined the staff as evening host in 2018.
On July 1, 2013, KTSO changed its format to adult contemporary music, branded as "94.1 The Breeze".[3]
KTSO and KXOJ swapped their formats and call letters the morning of August 16, 2016 to increase the overall reach of KXOJ-FM's Christian AC format throughout the Tulsa area, with 94.1's 100,000 watts providing more signal range than the traditionally limited range of 100.9.[4]
