KXOJ-FM (100.9 FM) is a contemporary Christian formatted radio station licensed to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and serving the greater Tulsa area. It is part of the Stephens Media Group, (no relation to the newspaper owner) and has been on the air since 1977. Its studios are located at the CityPlex Towers in South Tulsa.

KXOJ broadcasts from a new tower constructed in 2014 between Glenpool and Sapulpa off Highway 75. The new tower was part of an FCC granted class C upgrade, increasing the station to an ERP of 19,000 watts.[1] The new signal also includes an HD signal that covers the Tulsa metro area.[2]

KXOJ's on-air lineup includes Dave Weston and Katie Rindt each morning from 6-10am. Other veteran announcers include Bob Michaels who has been with the station since 1998 and Gary Thompson, who has been with the station off and on since the early 90's. Shannon Steele, midday host, started with the station in 2014.

Seth Andrews was a presenter on the station from 1990 to 2000, before he was fired, later becoming an atheist and founding The Thinking Atheist.[3][4]
