KOIL

KOIL 1290 AM is an Omaha, Nebraska area Talk Station that airs national talk shows such as Don Imus, Laura Ingraham, Dave Ramsey, Jerry Doyle, and local radio personality Tom Becka. It is owned by NRG Media headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
This frequency was originally occupied by KOIL, one of Omaha's leading top 40 stations, until September 2, 1976, when station owner Don Burden had his station licenses revoked due to misconduct.[1]
The station used the call letters KKAR from August 1993 until June 2012. The station returned to the original KOIL call letters at midnight local time, Monday June 4, 2012.

As a result of a Federal Communications Commission investigation into improprieties,[citation needed] Burden was forced to surrender his radio licenses, and KOIL went off the air in September 1976. The last song played by Gene Shaw as it went off the air on September 2, 1976 was Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence." The engineer on duty to turn off the transmitter after 51 years was Don Eliason.
