KXOJ, NOT subscribing to Arbitron
Our biggest problem is the signal. If we had a bigger signal, we would do much better. The Kross is a great sounding station for those in Taft that can pick it up. For our sales team, it is hard to sell a station that the clients have problems picking up in their business. You can get us in the car, but some offices in the Tulsa Metro complain about our coverage. There are some parts in Broken Arrow where I even lose KXOJ in my car.
