KOAI 107.5 FM THE OASIS SWITCHES FORMATS

Smooth jazz radio station KOAI 107.5 FM ‘The Oasis’ in Fort Worth, TX abruptly switched formats on Monday. The new format – called Movin’ 107.5 – is dedicated to upbeat R&B hits from the ’80’s to the present. The station, which signed on at 106.1 FM in 1987 and moved to 107.5 in the early ‘90’s flipped without warning. This new Movin’ format is one of the popular ones that seems to be popping up in one city after another lately, and speculation is that CBS Radio, which owns KOAI would put Movin’ on another of its Dallas stations. Nikki Nite, program director of KVIL 103.7 FM will move over to KOAI, and Charley Connolly, program director of the Oasis, will become program director of KVIL. The new format will be aimed at women ages 25 to 40.
