KROU (KGOU/KROU) is an NPR/Jazz music radio station serving the Oklahoma City area and is owned by University of Oklahoma.

History

KROU arose out of OU's efforts to expand KGOU's reach throughout the Oklahoma City area. KGOU's signal was spotty at best in northern 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 officially signed on June 28, 1993, licensed to serve Spencer, Oklahoma. The 4000-watt signal covers Oklahoma County, simulcasting programming from Norman's KGOU (106.3 FM).
