Radio Station WHOo is both AM and FM commercial radio station operating
on the following frequencies AM 99OKC, FM 96.5 MC. WHO0 AM broadcasts
are primarily designed to cat to teen-age listeners with commercial
promotions of various types and the e dialogue emphasizing UFO contests
and increasing listener interest this subject.
Mr. uses "stage name" while broadcasting as a
"Disc-jockey." I noted one sponsor has a taped announcement concerning
a contest to identify a "UFO" and receive a prize. When the disc-jockey
announced the start of a network baseball game broadcast he stated "well
gang I'll return right after the ballgame with more of the same. In the
meantime I'll FO's."
