KMVK (107.5 FM, "MOViN' 107.5") is a Rhythmic Adult Contemporary music formatted radio station serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in Texas. This station is owned and operated by CBS Radio.

History

KMVK, whose format history includes Urban contemporary, Disco, and Soul as KNOK and KDLZ, picked up an Easy listening format as KMEZ previously at 100.3 (See KJKK). Then this station had picked up the Smooth Jazz format in 1992, where it enjoyed a loyal following as KOAI "The Oasis." (prior to the format change, the KMEZ call letters were reassigned to a New Orleans, Louisiana station and carries an Urban Adult Contemporary format) But on Monday, October 2, 2006 at 5pm (CDT), KOAI changed its format to rhythm-based AC as "Movin' 107.5."

The station's current logo and branding was identical to radio station KVMX in Portland, Oregon (which is also owned by CBS Radio) untl they changed formats as Jammin 107 5.

Criticism

Since the radio station change to "MOViN 107.5" on October 2, 2006; much emotion and criticism was seen on [http://www.smoothjazz1075.com/pages/93583.php The Oasis Blog] by some loyal listeners of KOAI. Many demanded that the Smooth Jazz format be reinstated. KNTU-FM is the only jazz station in the Metroplex, but not every listener can get KNTU because of the weaker signal. (see [http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KNTU&service=FM&status=L&hours=U KNTU's Coverage Map] ).

A similar situation occurred in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Clear Channel flipped its smooth jazz station WJJZ to the Rhythmic AC format and rebranded it as "My 106.1". After many former listeners vented their anger over the change, they finally got some welcome news in October 2006, when Greater Media announced that the WJJZ call letters were revived at a new frequency (97.5 FM), and that some of its airstaff was returning. The announcement came two months after the original WJJZ was removed. WJJZ returned to the Philadelphia airwaves on November 17, 2006, and stayed on the air until September 5, 2008.

As for KOAI and its smooth jazz format, it has yet to be resurrected as of 2008. However, former KOAI personality Tempie Lindsey is currently hosting the Sunday Jazz Brunch on sister station KVIL ("103.7 Lite FM"), returning the format to Dallas as a part-time offering.
