[edit] History

The station signed on the air in 1966 as religious KORU, owned by famed Tulsa-based televangelist Oral Roberts. The studios were located in the iconic prayer tower on the ORU campus. In the mid-1970s the station aired an Urban Contemporary (or Soul) format as KKUL "K-Cool" . In 1978 KKUL was sold to William H. "Bill" Payne, and changed to Top 40 as KTFX "The Superfox 103".

In November 1979 it changed to a country format as "The Country Fox" which lasted until 1995. It was the first station to air a full-time country music format on FM in the Tulsa market.

In 1995, KTFX was sold to Cox Radio, the format changed to a classic hits format as KJSR "Star 103.3", airing classic rock music. The KTFX calls and country format moved to 102.3 (now News/Talk KRMG) in 1995.

Star 103.3 also simulcasts on Cox Communications digital cable channel 961 in Tulsa.
