Oklahoma's Sunrise News on 1520 KOKC gives you everything you need to get your day started. Veteran Oklahoma City newsman Randy Renner anchors news, sports and weather coverage. Randy likes to give you all the facts and throw in plenty of opinions too. He's joined by Ken Johnson, another veteran of the Oklahoma City airwaves. Ken provides Oklahoma City's only "live" and "mobile" traffic reports. Ken cruises the metro highways in the infamous "Creampuff" letting listeners know about potential trouble spots. Ken isn't short on opinions either and he likes to share them whenever possible.
The Sunrise News also features News 9 Meteorologist Jed Castles. As the morning moves along you can expect visits from an amazing cast of characters like "Mr. Haney" from the Bugtussle Tri-Cities area, "Ron" from Simi Valley, "Senator Ted" from Hiannis and the outrageous "Dr. Jerry Lewis" from the OU Health Sciences Research Complex. Every Monday morning we also talk "live" to a member of Oklahoma's 45th Infantry Brigade serving in Iraq.
It's all on Oklahoma's Sunrise News...ONLY on Talk Radio 1520 KOKC.
