Oldies 102.3

📖 About

KTRQ (102.3 FM), branded on-air as 'Oldies 102.3', is a commercial broadcast radio station licensed to Colt, Arkansas, and serving the Mid-South region including Wynne, Forrest City, and eastern Arkansas, as well as reaching parts of the greater Memphis, Tennessee metropolitan area. The station traces its historical origins back to 1969 when it originally signed on as KBRI-FM in Brinkley, Arkansas. Over the subsequent decades, the frequency underwent several call sign shifts and facility upgrades, eventually moving its city of license to Colt and adopting the KTRQ call letters to establish a dedicated classic oldies brand for Eastern Arkansas listeners. Today, KTRQ is owned and operated by East Arkansas Broadcasters, Inc. (EAB), one of the largest family-owned radio groups in the state. Programming on Oldies 102.3 focuses on a timeless, nostalgic mix of pop, rock, Motown, soul, and vocal hits from the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. The playlist features legendary mid-century artists such as Otis Redding, The Beatles, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bobby Vinton, Al Green, and Jefferson Airplane. In addition to its music rotation, Oldies 102.3 acts as a critical local information source for Cross and St. Francis counties, broadcasting regional news updates, local weather forecasts, agricultural market reports, civic notices, and local sports coverage. Operating with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 40,000 watts from a tower located in Eastern Arkansas, KTRQ delivers a robust signal across a broad three-state area encompassing Eastern Arkansas, West Tennessee, and Northwest Mississippi. Studio operations and business offices are situated at the East Arkansas Broadcasters complex on Highway 64 West in Wynne, Arkansas. Along with its traditional 102.3 FM terrestrial frequency, the station reaches a worldwide digital audience through online web streams and mobile audio applications.
