[edit] Station History

Originally owned by the Mona Motor Oil Company (hence the "OIL" in the call letters) and located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, KOIL signed on July 10, 1925. It orignally broadcast at 1080 AM before moving to 1290 AM. The station moved to Omaha in 1937. The station was purchased by salesman and promoter Don Burden in 1953. KOIL later adopted a Top 40 format. As a result of a Federal Communications Commission investigation into improprieties, Burden was forced to surrender his radio licenses, and KOIL went off the air in September 1976. Three months later, KOIL returned to the air under new ownership. In 1993, it moved to 1180 AM in an exchange with station KKAR. It is currently at 1020 AM.

Announcers who once worked for KOIL include Roger W. Morgan, Gene Okerlund, and former "Shindig!" host Jimmy O'Neill.
