The Voice of
Jenks, America
JenksFM is a community radio station and digital media platform built from the ground up to serve one community — Jenks, Oklahoma — with the depth, consistency, and permanence it deserves.
Organized as Jenks Public Radio, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, JenksFM operates on 90.1 FM under call sign KOKT-LP. Once on the air, Jenks High School will be the only high school in Oklahoma with an FM radio station.
JenksFM exists to give voice to the people, schools, and stories that make Jenks, America extraordinary — preserving history, celebrating achievement, connecting neighbors, and honoring the heritage of every community we serve.
Four Pillars of Community
JenksFM is organized around four distinct communities. Each receives dedicated programming — not as an afterthought, but as a core commitment.
Jenks Public Schools
Live play-by-play of Jenks Trojans football, basketball, baseball, softball, and swimming. Orchestra concerts. Show choir championships. Band performances. Student Spotlight interviews. Senior of the Month. Academic achievement. The DSG community service program.
Jenks Public Schools serves more than 12,000 students across ten sites in one of the fastest-growing districts in Oklahoma. The Trojans have won 189 state championships — more than the next five districts combined. Every title, every concert, every student deserves a voice that carries.
City of Jenks
City government. The Ten District revitalization. Main Street businesses. The Oklahoma Aquarium. The Tulsa Riverwalk. Boomfest — the 4th of July celebration that draws tens of thousands to the riverfront, with a JenksFM synchronized patriotic broadcast from parade to fireworks finale.
Jenks grew from 16,924 residents in 2010 to 25,949 by 2020. That kind of growth creates a community that needs a common thread — a shared voice that helps new neighbors understand where they've landed, and longtime residents celebrate what they've built.
Muscogee (Creek) Nation
Jenks sits at the heart of Muscogee (Creek) Nation territory. The Riverwalk, Boomfest, and the everyday life of Jenks are inseparable from that heritage. JenksFM is committed to Mvskoke language lessons in partnership with the College of the Muscogee Nation, cultural programming, oral history, and recognition of the Muscogee people as foundational to everything Jenks is.
As of 2018, seven percent of Jenks Public Schools students are Native American. Their stories belong on the air.
Music & Arts
Jenks High School has five orchestras. Three competitive show choirs. The Trojan Pride Marching Band, a Rose Parade participant in 2016 and 2024 and a Bands of America Grand Nationals finalist in 2018. The Trojanaires have competed at the national level in show choir.
JenksFM Rising Stars is an annual student performance competition. The Jenks Podium covers OSSAA speech and debate from invitational season through state. Boomfest features a full-day synchronized broadcast coordinated with Hance Pyrotechnics down to the firing sequence of the 1812 Overture finale.
A Jenks Graduate.
A Radio License.
A Community That Deserves Better.
JenksFM was founded by a 1980 Jenks High School graduate — one of five original members of the Jenks debate team in 1977, the year the program was established. A tax attorney, CPA, CGMA, and licensed amateur radio operator (KC5FWI, Expert class), the founder spent a career building networks — literally, as the designer of the first PC network for the Oklahoma Governor's Office in 1992, and figuratively, through decades of work in tax law, business organization, and estate planning.
The idea for JenksFM was simple: Jenks is an extraordinary community, and it has never had a radio station that treated it that way. The Jenks Trojans win state championships every year. The orchestra is world-class. The show choir competes nationally. The debate team goes to state. And for most of it, the only coverage is a scoreboard update the next morning.
The FCC license for KOKT-LP 90.1 FM — held by Electron Benders Inc. — was acquired through agreement with Electron Benders' president, with REC Networks managing the FCC assignment application. Jenks Public Radio, Inc. was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) and recognized by the IRS. The domain, the phone number, the board, the theme — all of it built from scratch, piece by piece, because Jenks deserves it.
Both of the founder's children graduated from Jenks High School — in 2019 and 2022. The oldest was valedictorian and a National Merit Finalist. JenksFM is, among other things, a father's answer to the question: who is going to tell these kids' stories?

Woodland Wealth Management →Emergency Communications
JenksFM is designed to serve as an official secondary emergency communications channel for Jenks Public Schools and the City of Jenks. Planned capabilities include school lockdown announcements, campus status monitoring across all ten JPS sites, weather delays and closings, Amber Alerts, and full FCC Emergency Alert System compliance.
When a robocall goes out to JPS families, it concludes with: "Tune in to JenksFM." The station will carry pre-recorded standby messaging ready to trigger, and JenksFM.com will display a live green/yellow/red status dashboard for each campus.
A formal emergency communications protocol agreement with the JPS Director of Communications is in development.
Key Partnerships
JenksFM is built on relationships — with the institutions, organizations, and people that make Jenks, America what it is.

By the Numbers
JenksFM operates under a Low Power FM license — the class of license specifically designed for community radio. LPFM stations are non-commercial by FCC rule, which aligns exactly with our 501(c)(3) mission. The license transfer from Electron Benders Inc. to Jenks Public Radio, Inc. is in process through REC Networks.
A second phase of expansion is planned: a transmitter move into the City of Jenks proper following license transfer, and two FM translator applications targeting the late 2026 FCC window — covering the West Tulsa/Tulsa Hills corridor and southern Jenks coverage gaps.
