Radio KBRU-FM (94.7 The Brew)

KBRU is a commercial radio station located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, broadcasting to the Oklahoma City area on 94.7 FM. KBRU airs a 80's Classic Rock format branded as "94.7 The Brew".

The station was originally licensed as KOCY-FM as early as 1948 and also had the call letters KEFM. An interesting note about KEFM is that the owner at the time, Williams TV moved the station from its city of license without proper authority from the FCC and consequently lost the license. The station began broadcasting as KEBC (K Electronic Broadcasting Company) in 1967. For years, the slogan of the station was Keep Every Body Country. The station started life in humble studios in E Moore, OK/ SE OKC consisting of a house with a shaky 150-foot tower next to it with antennas that arced regularly when humidity was in the air. Remote studios were also established at the Diamond Ballroom allowing KEBC to broadcast numerous famous country artists live on the air. Studios were then moved to Tyler/WeedandKiller's Ad agency facilities at 31st and S. Western. After Ralph Tyler bought out other interests of KEBC except for those of Ronnie Tutor, the transmitter site was moved to a much better tower that offered decent coverage at about 350 feet and basically established KEBC on its way to becoming a Oklahoma institution in country radio. After enjoying many years of success, KEBC suffered major setbacks when KXXY changed to country and started a very successful and aggressive prize campaign in the early 80s. Tyler sold the station and it was sold many times until it became property of Clear Channel. The station began its first run as an alternative rock station in July 1996 and it was known as "95X" with the call letters KNRX (K New Rock 95X).

The station switched overnight to an middle of the road soft format on November 21, 1997 and changed calls to KQSR (K Quiet Soft Rock). The station returned to alt-rock on July 8, 2002. The station stunted with a buzzing noise played over the soft rock songs and notified listeners that their "technicians were working to get 'the Buzz' out."

On December 29. 2009 at 10am Lex and Terry were cut off and 94.7 The Buzz passed away, and 94.7 The Brew was born, playing mainly 80s-based rock. http://www.947thebrew.com on January 18, 2010 KHBZ-FM changed the call letters to KBRU.

In March 2010, The Brew discontinued The Buzz's tradition of its annual March Bandness competition for local artists. The Buzz had been the oldest terrestrial-radio station with such a contest, and second oldest overall.
