KGOU's signal serving Oklahoma County, 105.7 (KROU), will be under renovation over the next couple of weeks. Starting Aug. 15, the transmitter and the small building it's housed in will be moved to a different tower location in northeast Oklahoma City. The transmitter will then be wired to a new antenna on the tower.

There may be some intermittent signal outages as the work crews disconnect and then reconnect all the different parts in the broadcast chain -- but we hope to keep the disruptions to a minimum. Once the move is complete, we'll be making adjustments to all the equipment to get the best possible sound and coverage from our 105.7 signal. KGOU General Manager Karen Holp has outlined all the details and reasons for this move in a special Manager's Desk report.
