Before going news-talk in the late 1970s, the station had a MOR (middle-of-the-road) music format and had added more and more talk shows, slowly replacing music for talk. Before moving to 50 Penn Place, the studio was located at Main and Virginia, west of downtown OKC. The call sign KTOK stands for the original owner's name at the time the call letters were changed. KTOK and its sister station KJYO were one originally part of INSILCO Broadcasting, which eventually became Clear Channel.
