According to the KDSN website, the FM station began broadcasting at 107.1 FM in 1968. [1]

The transmitter and broadcast tower are located on the northeast side of Denison. According to the Antenna Structure Registration database, the tower is 74 m (243 ft) tall with the FM broadcast antenna mounted at the 72 m (236 ft) level. [2] The calculated height above average terrain is 92 m (302 ft). The FM antenna array is a FML-2E-HW manufactured by ERI. [3]

KDSN-FM & KDSN stations carry a large amount of local news and farm information, with a mix of adult contemporary and classic rock on FM and country and polka on AM. They deliver the only city-grade signals to Denison.

In September 2018, UNW Media divested the station to JC Van Ginkel, James Field, James Van Ginkel, John Van Ginkel, & Rodney Christensen's Crawford County Broadcasting. The majority owners also operate KNOD-FM, Harlan Iowa and KJAN, Atlantic Iowa. [4]
