History

The station first signed on in 1993 as KSKK on 94.7, owned by the De La Hunt family. Branding itself as "The Arrow", it aired an Adult Contemporary format the entire time it was on 94.7.

In 2014, it was announced the De La Hunts had sold the station to Fargo radio owner Jim Ingstad, pending a Community of License change to Frazee, MN and change of frequency to 94.5.[1] This would allow its tower facilities to reside in nearby Detroit Lakes, MN. On May 29, 2015, Radio FM Media announced that KSKK, once moved to Detroit Lakes, would rebroadcast 95.1 KBVB, filling the void in signal coverage created when that station moved its transmitter from Barnesville to Moorhead in 2009.[2]

On June 26, 2015 at noon, KSKK 94.7 signed off for good from Wadena, simultaneous with the sale to Ingstad closing at a purchase price of $900,000. Less than a week later on July 2, the station signed on from Detroit Lakes on 94.5 with new call letters KDLB, carrying KBVB programming from Fargo (along with sister stations KLTA-FM and KPFX on HD2 and HD3, respectively).

gollark: Movies and stuff go for a stupid inconsistent nonsensical one most of the time, though.
gollark: There are various perfectly sensible and consistent ways it *could* work.
gollark: The past is mostly not very good and it wouldn't be very nice living there. Unless you're time-travelling and can just go for a bit and/or bring back knowledge from the future (present?).
gollark: Plus, life extension research is an actual thing now so hopefully some of us may actually live long enough for space exploration at some scale.
gollark: Oh, and much faster.
