History

KDIX Radio first went on the air May 16, 1947, with 250 watts of power.[3] It was purchased by Lee and Darlene Leiss in 1992 and the format was changed from Top 40 Adult Contemporary, to Country Rock and old songs from the 70's through the 80's This format change was to increase focus on the main age demographic of the area. Sports, local news and agriculture information, are their main programming features.
