KAKC 1300 AM is a sports talk radio station in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.
From the late 1950s to mid 1970s, KAKC 970 AM "The Rockin' 97" was a Top 40 station in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The station was owned (along with KAKC-FM 92.9) by S. Carl Mark. Both stations used consultant Bill Drake for their programming, with KAKC (AM) being the dominant music station for many years until the mid 1970's when long-time Top 40 competitor KELi (now known as KTBZ-AM) and FM upstart KTFX "The Superfox 103" (now KJSR "Star 103.3") cut into their audience.
KAKC-FM 92.9 FM in the seventies used a Drake-Chenault programmed automated oldies format during the day. From 6pm to 12 Midnight the FM simulcasted with KAKC 970 to make up for the AM's weak nightime signal. In the summer of 1977 KAKC-FM flipped to the then-popular "Beautiful Music" format and changed the call letters to KBEZ-FM.
In early 1978 KAKC shocked the Tulsa radio market by dropping Top 40 programming after 20 years for standards, with declining ratings as the result. A year later the station was bought by the owners of KCFO-FM which changed the format to Southern Gospel music and Christian talk programming. In 1981 the legendary 970 call letters were changed to KCFO-AM.
In 1985 KBBJ 1300 picked up the KAKC call letters and flipped from a standards format to a satellite-based Oldies format. 1300 over the years has been a country, R&B-disco, album rock, adult contemporary, news-talk, spanish music, sports and business news. The station has had little success in the Tulsa radio market due to a limited signal and little if any promotion by Clear Channel over the decades. Former call letters for 1300 AM include KOME, KCNW, KXXO, and KMOD-AM.
On April 16, 2007 KAKC changed their format to sports, with programming from ESPN Radio.
