[3] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the application on October 5, less than two months later,[4] and KDVR began broadcasting on February 6, 1961.

[6] KDVR relaunched as easy listening station KSEZ "Stereo 98" that July.

[8] However, the easy listening format turned out to be unable to attract significant advertiser support in the market; as a result, on February 23, 1976, the station flipped to rock.

Clear Channel, predecessor to iHeartMedia, acquired the Sioux City cluster from Radioworks for $12 million in 2000.
