KRIL (1410 AM) was a radio station that served the Midland–Odessa metropolitan area with classic country music. In its final days, it was under ownership of Townsquare Media and branded as "Real Country 1410 KRIL".
History
KRIG went on the air in 1946 under the auspices of the Oil Center Broadcasting Company. It broadcast with 1,000 watts on 1410 kHz and was often known as K-RIG, reflecting the oil rigs common in the region.
At one point in its history KRIL was an affiliate of the Dallas Cowboys radio network[1] and the Rush Limbaugh Program (before the show moved to KCRS), and in the 2000s, it simulcast ESPN radio along with KMND 1510 AM.
KRIL was taken off the air (silent) on July 16, 2014 and its tower torn down to facilitate the sale of its transmitter site to a third party. The license was returned to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on July 17, 2014, and cancelled by the FCC on the same day.
