After stating it would cease operations today, Cumulus Media Red Dirt Country “94.9 The Outlaw” KOLI Electra/Wichita Falls TX has gained a temporary reprieve.
Program Director/morning host James Cook shared an update stating, “FIRST… Kudos to our listeners for making your voices heard. We will be staying on for a few more weeks so you can enjoy the music from Texas and Oklahoma.”
Cook’s morning show did come to an end following his show today. He added, “Local musicians, venues, musicians from Texas and Oklahoma and our listeners… we are saying goodbye today to The Way Too Early Show. My life is forever changed because of the wonderful scene and the people involved. Since I get teary-eyed throughout the morning, I haven’t been able to open the mic ONCE but I’ve played many goodbyes from our fans. I’ve been a lucky man to have the chance to wake you up with some of the best music around. From the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU.”
