Information To Be Included in the Report

Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     On June 21, 2002, Dobson  Communications  Corporation  ("Dobson") dismissed
Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as Dobson Communications' independent auditors,
and  selected  KPMG LLP  ("KPMG") to serve as its new  independent  auditors for
2002.  This  action  was taken by the  Dobson  Board of  Directors  based on the
recommendation of Dobson's audit committee.

     Andersen's reports on Dobson's  consolidated  financial statements for each
of the years ended  December  31, 2001 and  December 31, 2000 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During the years ended  December  31, 2001 and 2000 and the interim  period
between  December  31,  2001  and the  date  of this  Form  8-K,  there  were no
disagreements between Dobson and Andersen on any matter of accounting principles
or practices,  financial  statement  disclosure  or auditing  scope or procedure
which, if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused Andersen to
make  reference to the subject  matter of the  disagreement  in connection  with
their report for such years;  and there were no reportable  events as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     Dobson provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached
as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Andersen's letter,  dated June 24, 2002, stating it
has found no disagreement with such statements.

     During  Dobson's two most recent  fiscal years and through the date of this
Report on Form 8-K,  Dobson did not consult KPMG with respect to the application
of  accounting  principles  to a  specified  transaction,  either  completed  or
proposed,  or the type of audit  opinion  that  might be  rendered  on  Dobson's
consolidated  financial  statements,  or any other matters or reportable  events
listed in item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(c)      Exhibits:

     In accordance with the provisions of Item 601 of Regulations S-K,  attached
as Exhibit 16.1, is the following which is incorporated by reference herein:
