KVDT (103.3 FM) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Allen, Texas, and serving the greater Dallas–Fort Worth market.
[2] The signal covers the northern parts of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and North Texas as well as Southern Oklahoma.
On August 7, 2013, it was announced that Cumulus Media, owner of KESN's rival KTCK, would take over operations of ESPN 103.3 through a long-term local marketing agreement (LMA) with Disney, beginning on October 8.
The change took effect once Cumulus closed on the sale of FM station KTDK 104.1 of Sanger to Whitley Media.
[9] Eventually, the license of KTDK 104.1 was cancelled, and its call sign was deleted by the FCC on October 18, 2013, at the request of Cumulus.
[11] Former sister station KZMP (1540 AM) aired Spanish language sports programming until September 2016, when it was flipped to a regional Mexican format.
All local programming on KESN, with the exception of the Dallas Mavericks games, ended on October 7, 2020, following the expiration of the LMA with Cumulus.
[12] The station then began broadcasting only ESPN Radio network programming, with no local shows, except for Dallas Mavericks games.
On August 23, 2021, iHeartMedia announced that, after 20 years on KESN, Dallas Mavericks game broadcasts would move to iHeart-owned mainstream rock station KEGL 97.1 The Eagle.
[13][14] On December 21, 2021, Disney announced the company would sell KESN to Christian radio group VCY America for $9.25 million.
Therefore, KVDT's signal is much stronger in the northern parts of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Dallas, Decatur, Denton, and McKinney.
