KOKE Changes: Following the sale of its terrestrial signals and move to streaming only (CAT 5/30), Genuine Austin Radio KOKE/Austin, TX morning host and Country Radio Hall of Famer Bob Cole, OM/afternoon host Eric Raines and midday host Deena Blake have all departed. Cole was one of the investors who purchased the station and flipped it to KOKE in 2012 (CAT 7/5/12).

"As we navigate the transition associated with the sale of our station tower frequencies, there have been some unexpected changes to the lineup," according to a station posting. "We understand that these changes can be surprising and may affect your listening experience, and we appreciate your patience and continued support during this transition." The station lineup now consists of former night hosts Scotty Bennett & Amber Sorenson in mornings and former morning co-host Rita Ballou rejoining for afternoons, with the remainder of the schedule music intensive.
