KOCY is a Radio Disney station serving the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma market. A website (alternatively web site or Web site, a back-construction from the Proper noun World Wide Web) is a collection of Web pages Radio Disney is a radio network based in Dallas Texas in the United States broadcasting music and other content targeted at Children and young This article is about radio broadcasting for other uses see Radio (disambiguation. Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of the US state of Oklahoma. KOCY broadcasts on 1560 kHz. The hertz (symbol Hz) is a measure of Frequency, informally defined as the number of events occurring per Second. For many years, the KOCY call letters were at 1340 in Oklahoma City (now KEBC). For a short time they were also on 94. 7 (as KOCY-FM). KOCY is one of the few Radio Disney stations not owned by the Walt Disney Company.
KOCY was originally on 1340AM. Owned by Matt Bonebrake, it was the FIRST rock and roll stations in the OKC metro area back in the latter part of the 50s. The studios for KOCY back then were located at the Plaza Court Building at 10th and Classen. Dale Webba, among others were jocks there. KOCY was one of the first 24 hour stations in the country at the time. It was rumored that Bonebrake made a million dollars a year for several years during KOCY's top-40 rock and roll days. When KOMA and then WKY dumped the network stuff and switched to rock and roll KOCY went "Modern Music" which is basically an MOR adult music format of the day. Studios for KOCY were eventually moved to 28th and Oklahoma, where 1340 currently still has transmitter facilities sporting the call of KEBC-AM. After the station moved to 28th and Oklahoma, and switched to the Middle of the Road format, it went off the air at midnight. Then, in 1969, Matthew Bonebrake decided to once again go twenty-four hours. The first all-night disc jockey was legendary radio personality Vin Smith (then known as Mel Smith), who later gained fame as The Midnight Bookworm on CRN Digital Talk. Smith later moved the Midnight Bookworm book show to America First Radio, where it is a part of the Night Shift program, starring Uncle Buck, and the International UFO Institute Radio Program, where he co-hosts with Col. Ripster. Other fine broadcasters at KOCY were Al Cohen, who had a morning show on KOCY in the late 60's, and sportscasters Ross Porter, of Los Angeles Dodgers broadcasting fame, and NBC's all time great, Curt Gowdy. Porter hosted sports reports. One of the great voices of radio, former Mutual Broadcasting mainstay Carlton Beck also worked at KOCY, late in his career. Beck was a close personal friend of owner Matthew Bonebrake, and had a wildly popular music program that ended at midnight. (another recycled OKC call from the past)
