Oklahoma City, In the Press

[Snowman]

...
Minor point, but is anyone else a tad annoyed at being referred to as "Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"? It just seems so unnecessary, and we're one of the domestic cities for which the AP Style Guide recommends omitting the state from the end. Not a huge deal, but as we're in the stages of building a brand and conveying our identity to the rest of the country it would be nice to be recognized as "Oklahoma City" as opposed to a town that happens to be in Oklahoma.
...

While that may be what the style guide calls for and more redundant than most with us; the City, State format is common enough you see it with far larger cities than us with unique names all the time.
