KGOU is a National Public Radio member News/Talk/Jazz music/Blues music radio station serving the Oklahoma City area and is owned by the University of Oklahoma. It is operated by OU's College of Continuing Education (OU Outreach), with studios in Copeland Hall on the OU campus. The station operates three full-power satellites: KROU (105.7 FM) in Spencer, KWOU (88.1 FM) in Woodward and KOUA (91.9 FM) in Ada, Oklahoma. It also operates translators K276ET (103.1 FM) in Seminole, K250AU (97.9 FM) in Ada, K295BL (106.9 FM) in Chickasha and K286BZ (105.1 FM) in Shawnee. ==History== KGOU was originally licensed as a commercial rock music station to the University of Oklahoma in 1970, broadcasting at 106.3 FM. OU applied for a non-commercial Class A license and switched the station's format to NPR news and talk on New Year's Day, 1983. The station's repeater network began more or less out of necessity. In 1993, KGOU and the University of Central Oklahoma's KCSC reached a deal to provide non-conflicting programming. This resulted in KCSC dropping all NPR news programming, even though it was the more powerful station. KGOU's signal was spotty at best in most of Oklahoma City because it had to protect what is now KTUZ-FM at nearby 106.7. To solve this problem, OU won a construction permit for a repeater station that would better cover the northern suburbs. This repeater station, KROU, officially signed on June 28, 1993. It was the first in a network of repeater stations that cover much of central and southern Oklahoma. Its format is primarily news/talk on weekdays, with jazz, blues, and world music programs on weekends, broadcasting programs from NPR, PRI and other public radio networks alongside locally produced news and music programming. The KGOU studios were heavily renovated in 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KGOU」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
