Transmitter history
I think the summary of transmitters is a little off. When I first started working there in 1988, we had a 500-foot tower on the south side of Stillwater that I think dated from the 1970s. It was hardly halfway between Stillwater and OKC, but we got very good reception reports from Edmond and decent ones from farther south. By around 1990, we wanted to have a better signal in Oklahoma City. KOSU and KSPI-FM partnered to build a new 1000-foot tower and transmitter building a couple of miles west of Stillwater on the south side of highway 51. I think KOSU paid for the tower and KSPI built the building, but I could have that backwards. Each station had full use of each one. I don't have any references to cite for any of that, but since I worked pretty closely with Dan Schroeder during that time, I do know that it's accurate, give or take memory fading over 20 years. Since then, I know they moved to the Guthrie tower and I don't know what the current status of the west Stillwater tower is. Working with Dan to build and equip the "new" site still ranks as one of the best parts of my journalism career.
