On December 8, 2011, Marfa Public Radio purchased KOCV (91.3 FM) from Odessa College. Since September 1, KOCV had been operated by Marfa Public Radio under a management agreement with the college.
By Spring 2012, Marfa Public Radio will relaunch 91.3 FM at a new transmitting site in order to provide reliable coverage for both cities of Odessa and Midland. Until that time, there will be little change of the current KOCV format and signal strength.
Please contact us with any questions by emailing kocv@marfapublicradio.org or by calling 800-903-5787.
