History
KMOO was authorized on 96.7 MHz in 1977. It was owned by Sam and Joyce Curry. Under Curry's tenure, the station was referred to by its ownership and on air personalities as, "K M Double O," and on air personalities were not allowed to call the station "KMOO," with the last three letters pronounced in a manner similar to a noise made by cattle. Sam Curry sold the station in 1995 when he planned to embark on a race for Wood County Judge as a Democrat, a race he ultimately lost.
In May 2000, KMOO was authorized to move from 96.7 to 99.9.
