[edit] History

KMVK, whose format history includes Urban contemporary, Disco, and Soul as KNOK, picked up the Smooth Jazz format in 1992, where it enjoyed a loyal following as KOAI "The Oasis." But on Monday, October 2, 2006 at 5pm (CDT), KOAI changed its format to rhythm-based AC as "Movin' 107.5." Much of "The Oasis" programming continues on this website and on 107.5 HD-2 (HD Radio needed).

[edit] Criticism

Since the recent radio station change to "MOViN 107.5" on October 2, 2006; much heartbreak and criticism was seen on The Oasis Blog by some loyal listeners of KOAI. Many demanded that the Smooth Jazz format be reinstated.

A similar situation occurred in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Clear Channel flipped its smooth jazz station WJJZ to the Rhythmic AC format and rebranded it as "Philly's 106.1". After many former listeners vented their anger over the change, they finally got some welcome news in October 2006, when Greater Media announced that the WJJZ call letters were revived at a new frequency (97.5 FM), and that some of its airstaff was returning. The announcement came two months after the original WJJZ was killed off. WJJZ returned to the Philadelphia airwaves on November 17, 2006.
