KDRA-LP (94.1 FM) was a radio station licensed to Des Moines, Iowa, United States and adopted the nickname "The Dog" on August 22, 2006. [1] The station was owned by Drake University. [2] [3]

History

Drake first began radio operations in 1982, with carrier current station "KDRK". From 2000 to 2006, it broadcast online and on campus TV sets as "KDCS Bulldog Radio". [1] Until 2015, it was a time-shared station with KGVC-LP of Grand View College, later Grand View University; when the license for KGVC-LP was surrendered, it allowed KDRA-LP to go full-time on 94.1. [4] On June 10, 2019, Drake University notified the FCC that KDRA-LP would cease operations on or before August 15, 2019, and that it would be surrendering the station's license. [5] Its license was cancelled on January 5, 2021.
