History
KRMG-FM's format history includes alternative rock as KTOW, which later flipped to urban contemporary in the early 1990s as "Mix 102.3", giving Tulsa its first urban station on the FM dial since KKUL/103.3 left the air in the late-1970s. KTOW was sold in the mid-1990s to Bill Payne and the format was changed to classic country as KTFX which had formerly been at 103.3 and was also owned by Payne, who sold the station to Cox Radio. Cox Radio purchased KTFX-102.3 from Payne and changed the format to rock music as KRTQ "Rock 102.3" to compete against heritage rocker KMOD-FM. In 2005 KRTQ dropped its rock format and changed to Contemporary Christian music as KKCM, competing against heritage Contemporary Christian station KXOJ-FM.
On Monday, March 16, 2009, the Contemporary Christian format was dropped for a simulcast of sister KRMG. The Contemporary Christian format can still be heard on KWEN-HD2 and on Cox Digital Cable channel 962.
KRMG also simulcasts on Cox Communications digital cable channel 960 in Tulsa.
On July 7, 2014 KRMG changed their slogan to "Tulsa’s 24-hour News, Weather and Traffic, NEWS 102.3 KRMG"
