About Southeast Oklahoma Radio Station
Station History
Established in 1983, KKBI was purchased by Alyce Carole Westbrook-Mixon and Phil Silva in 1989. Alyce and Phil worked tirelessly to establish a site location for the station while also making a 50,000-watt upgrade by building a more advanced radio tower.
In 1998 KKBI was sold to JDC Corporation. This is when Q102 Classis Hits was added, which today is known as Q102.9 Best Hits. In 2022 the station was purchased by locals Jay and Laura Lindly...
Meet the Owners: Laura & Jay Lindly
In 2008 while Laura was the elected District Attorney for District 17, she went to do an on-air interview regarding "Victim’s Rights" at KKBI. This was the first time Jay and Laura met.
Fast forward to 2009, after doing another on-air interview with Jay, sparks began to fly, and by May 1, 2010, they were married!
Of course, it made sense to both of them to come back to the place where it all started, and in 2022 they decided to buy the radio station. Laura and Jay are eager and excited about the future of the new and improved Southeast Oklahoma Radio Station.
