As we've already mentioned a couple of times on this site, the third incarnation of The Spy hits the Oklahoma City airwaves today. The man behind the station is Ferris O'Brien. Ferris' voice should be a familiar one to Oklahoma City radio listeners. He was the program director for the "old" 105.3 the Spy, and 93.7 the Spy when it was a "college rock" format broadcasting out of Stillwater.
As a new music buff/pretentious music snob, I still feel the need to pinch myself. Even though we speculated about it's return in the past, I never really thought the Spy was going to come back. It's going to be so great to finally have a local radio station playing good and enjoyable music. I can't wait to hop in the car, turn on the radio, and hear bands like The Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Student Film, and hell, even The Flaming Lips, coming from the car speakers.
