From the beginning, 106.5 was an affiliate of the ABC radio network. In the early 1970s, Waller decided that 106.5 would be the first of many FM stations that he wanted to own in East Texas, so he changed the call letters to KOOI. KOOI also was the first station in East Texas to have an automation system, Waller bought a Schaffer automation using cart machines on carousels and 10 reel to reel decks. The automation provided a beautiful music format to East Texas. In 1983, KOOI became the first stereo FM radio station in East Texas. In 1987 KOOI moved to its current transmitter site at Mount Selman, which is also the tower site of KETK-TV and KBJS. This transmitter site move made KOOI the most powerful FM at the highest point in East Texas.

On January 7, 2005, after 47 years of ownership, Dudley Waller sold KOOI 106.5 to Access.1 of New York, along with KYKX, KOYE, KKUS, and 1370 KFRO.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KOOI Call Sign History )〕 On January 21, 2013, KOOI changed their format from adult contemporary to classic hits, still branded as "Sunny 106.5".
