KPRO's morning show is hosted by Eddie Wilcoxen.[5][6] He is a published poet, recognized landscape designer, karate champion, and was named as an official Olympic Hero in 1996.[5][7] In January 2011, Wilcoxen was named Poet Laureate for the state of Oklahoma for 2011 though 2012 by the Oklahoma Humanities Council.[5][7]

History

On April 1, 1974, KWHW-FM signed on at 93.5 FM as a sister station to KWHW (1450 AM).[8] In April 1984, broadcast license holder KWHW Radio, Inc., reached an agreement to sell KWHW and KWHW-FM to Altus Radio, Inc. The deal was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on May 29, 1984, and the transaction was formally consummated on July 2, 1984.[9] The station's call sign was changed to KRKZ by the FCC on November 11, 1984.[1]

In October 2003, Altus Radio, Inc., made a deal to sell this station, along with sister stations KWHW in Altus and KQTZ in Hobart, to Monarch Broadcasting, Inc, for a combined sale price of $1,800,000.[10] The deal gained FCC approval on December 12, 2003, and the transaction was consummated on December 31, 2003.[11]

The station was reassigned the KWHW-FM call sign by the FCC on May 30, 2011.[1]

Effective September 8, 2021, Monarch Broadcasting sold KWHW-FM, KQTZ, KWHW, and translator K245CY to James G Boles, Jr. for $1. KWHW-FM became KPRO on October 7, 2021.
