Source-derived summary

KRMP (1140 AM) is an urban adult contemporary radio station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The station is owned by Perry Publishing and Broadcasting. The station's studios are located at Perry Plaza II in the Eastside district of Northeast Oklahoma City, and the transmitter site is in the southeast side of the city. KRMP broadcasts by day at 1,000 watts using a non-directional antenna.

1140 AM is a United States and Mexican clear channel frequency. For that reason, KRMP is a daytimer, required to go off the air at sunset when radio waves travel further. That stops KRMP from interfering with the frequency's two Class A stations, WRVA in Richmond, Virginia, and XEMR in Monterrey, Mexico. For listeners wanting to hear KRMP around the clock, programming is heard on FM translator K221FQ at 92.1 MHz.

History

KRMP first signed on the air as KLPR. The station went through various formats such as Country and Disco. The call letters later flipped to KATT and started simulcasting Rock with its former sister station KATT-FM 100.5.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as radio station in Oklahoma City. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6336885. Authority coordinates are 35.387, -97.499. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1140.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
