The radio studios and offices for KDAL, KDAL-FM, KDKE, WDSM, WDUL and KTCO are at 11 East Superior Street, Suite 380, in downtown Duluth.

Weekdays begin with Dave Stranberg and the KDAL Morning Show, featuring news, sports, weather, school closings and local information.

The rest of the weekday schedule comes from nationally syndicated talk shows including The Ramsey Show with Dave Ramsey, Markley, VanCamp and Robbins, Our American Stories with Lee Habeeb, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.

Weekend syndicated shows include Leo Laporte, The Tech Guy, Somewhere in Time with Art Bell and World Travel Connection with Rudy Maxa.

With the enactment of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), the station moved to 1490 kHz in early 1941.

"Amos 'n' Andy", "George Burns & Gracie Allen", "Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy" and Bing Crosby also made the switch.

KDAL featured a full service, middle of the road (MOR) format of popular music, news and sports in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

KDAL would gain an additional sister station in the form of KQDS-FM in 2016, acquired by Midwest from Red Rock Radio.
