WKY
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma's WKY was the first radio station to be licensed west of the Mississippi River and the 28th overall. They began broadcasting in 1922 as "5XT" before being assigned the WKY call letters. Besides Contemporary Christian, they've gone through many formats over the years including Top-40, Adult Contemporary, Easy Listening, News/Talk, Sports Talk, Oldies and Country. In January, 2009 they flipped to a Regional Mexican station known as "La Indomable."
Newsman Walter Kronkite began his broadcasting career at WKY in 1935. He was an announcer for University of Oklahoma football games and later worked at the news desk. "The Most Trusted Man in America" died yesterday at the age of 92.

KTST
It's tornado season once again in the United States. Last week we had our annual tornado drill in the creepy basement of the building where I work. I was half expecting a voice to tell me to put the lotion in the basket while I was down there.
Tomorrow is the 35th anniversary of a series of tornadoes known as the Super Outbreak which consisted of 148 twisters across 13 states. The worst hit was nearby Xenia, Ohio where two tornadoes merged into one super-tornado killing 32 people and injuring 1,150. Roughly half of the town was damaged or destroyed to the tune $100 million dollars.I'm not sure why anyone would name their radio station after a natural disaster that kills about 100 people per year on average (not to mention all the injuries and property damage.) Besides, aren't you tempting fate by cavalierly naming yourselves "Twister" when you're located in the heart of Tornado Alley? Don't be surprised when their tower gets ironically knocked down by a real version of the station logo. I guess it makes it OK if you give the tornado googly cartoon eyes and a cowboy hat.
No one could be so stupid as to name their entity after a deadly natural disaster. Oh, hold on a minute. Wait, this too? Aw, you have got to be kidding me. OK, never mind. What's next..."94.5 The Flood" from Fargo, North Dakota? "Southern India's Hottest Hits 106.9 The Typhoon?"
