KMUS is a Spanish-language radio station which serves the Tulsa, Oklahoma market. KMUS broadcasts on 1380 kHz under ownership of Radio Las Américas LLC. Although the station can heard through much of the Tulsa area during the daytime hours, its nighttime signal is limited to just 250 watts, offering much weaker reception.
History[]
KMUS began broadcasting in Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1948.[1] It changed to KLUE on July 25, 1987 with a format of crossover country. Three years later, the call sign reverted to KMUS and the station aired an adult standards format before Reunion Broadcasting, LLC sold it to The Walt Disney Company in 2004. Its transmitter site and city of license was relocated to Sperry, Oklahoma, and the format changed to the company's Radio Disney offering. Sometime in the 1990s, the station began airing programming from the Children's Satellite Network, which was later dropped in March 1998.[2]
