As 830 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station WCCO in Minneapolis, KDRI reduces power at night to 1,000 watts, and switches to a directional antenna with a four-tower array.

[2] KDRI is Arizona's only "Primary Entry Point" station to the Emergency Alert System.

On August 1, 2019, KFLT was sold to Tucson Radio, LLC, owned by local businessman Fletcher McCusker, for $650,000.

After stunting with novelty music as The Worm, KFLT launched a soft oldies format with a Tucson-centric presentation and local personalities targeting "boomers in cars" as The Drive, KDRI, on August 5, 2019.
