The Spy is your go-to location for independent, local music and features more than a dozen unique specialty shows that include Indie Rock, Classic Alternative, 80s New Wave, Oklahoma music, Roots, Reggae, and much, much more.
Ferris O’Brien’s brand of The Spy has existed since 1998 when he took over as the Program Director at 93.7 The Spy (KSPI-FM in Stillwater). When station owners took The Spy off the air in 2001, Ferris secured ownership of the brand and moved it to Oklahoma City. In 2002, Citadel Communications launched a deep alternative format radio station (KSYY) and asked Ferris to take the helm. The station was killed in June 2004, but Ferris kept “Spy Radio” on the air as a once weekly specialty show on 100.5 The KATT. In 2009, Ferris purchased 105.3 FM from Citadel and relaunched The Spy. When that purchase agreement fell through in December 2010, he took the station completely digital at thespyfm.com. In 2012, The Spy and KOSU established a new partnership that allowed The Spy to return to the FM dial.
You can listen to The Spy nightly from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., plus 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays on KOSU. You can also listen to The Spy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at thespyfm.com.
