History

KDNT was initially proposed by Tomlinson-Leis Communications, L.P. through a short form application filed with the Federal Communications Commission and granted on November 6, 2015. The facility's transmission site was constructed near Broad Street in the small town of Oakwood, giving the community its first licensed aural service.

Tomlinson-Leis Communications sold the construction permit for the facility to North Texas Radio Group, L.P. on January 23, 2018.

The initial call sign KETW was granted on September 27, 2018. The facility is licensed to operate at an ERP of 100 watts, from an elevation of 19.2 meters height above average terrain.

KETW signed on the air October 10, 2018, and received an initial License to Cover from the Federal Communications Commission on October 18, 2018.[1]

North Texas Radio Group, LP waa granted a call sign change to the current KDNT on March 3, 2020. Historically, the KDNT call sign was located on AM 1440 (now KEXB) in Denton, Texas from 1938 to 1994.
