KRMP
KRMP (1140 AM) is an urban adult contemporary radio station in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The station is owned by The Perry Broadcasting Company. 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.

FM Translator
A broadcast relay station, also known as a satellite station, relay transmitter, broadcast translator (U.S.), re-broadcaster (Canada), repeater (two-way radio) or complementary station (Mexico), is a broadcast transmitter which repeats (or transponds) the signal of a radio or television station to an area not covered by the originating station. It expands the broadcast range of a television or radio station beyond the primary signal's original coverage or improves service in the original coverage area. The stations may be (but are not usually) used to create a single-frequency network. They may also be used by an AM or FM radio station to establish a presence on the other band. Relay stations are most commonly established and operated by the same organisations responsible for the originating stations they repeat. However, depending on technical and regulatory restrictions, relays may also be set up by unrelated organisations. Types Broadcast translators In its simplest form, ...
