History

The station now known as KCAD signed on the air in November 1996, bringing the first major Country music format to the Southwestern North Dakota market. [2] It broadcasts at 99.1 MHz with a substantial effective radiated power of 100,000 watts, licensed to Dickinson, North Dakota. [3]

KCAD was initially owned by Roughrider Broadcasting, which operated a cluster of stations in the Dickinson market alongside KLTC (AM 1460) and KZRX (FM 92.1).

The entire cluster was sold to Roberts Radio in 1998, as part of a move to consolidate ownership in smaller regional markets. [4]

The stations were later acquired by Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) in 2001, which has operated KCAD and its sister stations ever since. [5]
