KZEE
KZEE broadcasts by day at 1,600 watts. But at night, to protect other stations on 1220 AM, it reduces power to 200 watts. A directional antenna is used at all times. The transmitter is on Lucas Street at Eden Road in Weatherford.
History
KZEE began broadcasting as a Top 40 radio station in August 1956. Originally owned by Tom Gibson and Ed McLemore, it was later owned by Horace Boren who sold it to J. Fred Case dba Bartlesville Broadcasting Corp. In 1966, the station, in response to John Lennon’s statement about Jesus Christ, “damned their (Beatles) songs eternally.”
The station was sold in the 1970s to Galen Gilbert dba Community Service Radio Group. In the 1980s it went through a succession of other owners until 2005 when the station flipped its format to South Asian programming under its current ownership.
