History

KNOC-FM went on the air in 1965. It broadcast with 3,000 watts at 97.7 MHz and was owned by the Natchitoches Broadcasting Company. The station became KDBH-FM on October 1, 1971.

In 2001, the station was approved for a power increase to 25,000 watts, with a frequency change to 97.3 MHz. It stayed until an agreement was made with Cumulus Media, to downgrade coverage once again to a class A station with 6,000 watts and move to 97.5 MHz, to allow for the positioning of station KQHN FM on 97.3 MHz in the Shreveport, Louisiana radio market; KQHN had been ordered in January 2005 to relocate from 107.9 MHz due to interference to navigational equipment at Barksdale Air Force Base.[2] In 2015, KDBH-FM returned to an upgraded Class C3 facility on 97.5.[3][4][5]

On May 1, 2017, KDBH-FM changed their format to classic country, branded as "Country Legends 97.5". (info taken from stationintel.com)

gollark: Oh, getDir gets the whole path before the filenamey bit, that's useful, thanks.
gollark: <@237328509234708481> Is there a function to split a path into segments, or at least into a last bit and the rest of it?
