History

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on May 29, 1998.[1] The station was assigned the KBIY call sign on August 10, 1998,[2] and received its license to cover on June 26, 2001.[3] Under its original owner, the New Life Evangelistic Center, KBIY was part of the Here's Help Network of Christian radio programming.

New Life sold the station to Southeast Missouri State University for $45,000 in 2019; the station was to be used to bring NPR to the Poplar Bluff area, with the transmitter to be moved to Elsinore, Missouri.[4] Under new call letters KDMC-FM—previously associated with the former student-run station at the Cape Girardeau campus—the station returned to the air on May 14, 2020.[5]

gollark: Seatbelts have a really low chance of saving your life, but we still use *those*.
gollark: It's a cost/benefit thing I guess, in that while you could be near-certain of avoiding it if you totally isolated yourself from society, but that would be bad.
gollark: If you *can* avoid COVID-19 somehow you're avoiding a 2% (depending on age I guess) death risk, and I'm pretty sure people regularly do things to avoid risks smaller than that.
gollark: Humans do have dead cells at the top of skin or something to partly block UV light, but I have no idea how effective that is.
gollark: Yes, probably.
