WHO WE ARE

KLBC 106.3, a 25,000-watt country format station.  KLBC is THE dominant radio station in Southeastern Oklahoma featuring “Scott & Jim in the Morning”, who have been together for 20 years. Our country format caters to the 18-49 demographic, and emphasizes popular current hits, along with top songs from the 1990s and 2000s. KLBC draws an active segment of the country audience with artists like Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and more!

B99.7 The Buzz is a Variety Hits format with a primary demo of adults aged 30-60. B99-7. The “Morning Buzz” is anchored by Michael Gabbard, an Atoka native, and he also serves as our video stream coordinator. Music on B99-7 showcases the Rock/Pop sound of the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s. This format rolls out the memorable, recognizable, and immediately well-known rock/pop artists like Huey Lewis, Prince, Aerosmith, Madonna, AC/DC and more!

KSEO 750 AM and 94.1 FM is a “classic hits” format with a primary demo of men 45-64. This format features the golden era of pop, rock, and soul: hit music primarily of the ’60s and ’70s with a healthy portion of “oh-wow” songs from other decades. The music is up tempo, and the presentation is full of energy, with artists like Elton John, Chicago, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and more!

Not only is Durant one of the larger towns in Southeastern Oklahoma, but it is also the home of two major tourist attractions each summer.

  1. Choctaw Casino Resort averages 1.6 million visitors each year, and now there is West Bay Casino and Resort right off the lake that is owned by the Chickasaw Nation.
  2. Lake Texoma averages more than 10 million visitors each year.

And while summer may be the peak season for travelers from outside the market, the entire year sees a constant flow of cars coming up Highway 75 to visit the lake, the casinos and as a result, the city of Durant.

Our audiences will travel to shop! That’s why businesses outside our immediate market advertise with us. Sherman, Denison, and Ardmore are just a few cities that host businesses that advertise on our stations on a regular basis.
