KYCR (AM)

The original call letters were KEYD and the station played country music for many years.

The original KEYD radio studios were located in downtown Minneapolis on 9th Street off of Hennepin Avenue adjacent to the Orpheum Theatre.

The call sign was changed to KEVE in June 1956,[2] and the studios moved to the station's transmitter and antenna site at 917 Lilac Drive in Golden Valley.

In 1985, ABC Radio Network, then a division of the original ABC, Inc. bought the station and its FM counterpart with it from Hudson Communications Corporation, a radio broadcasting company owned by Washington D.C. lawyer Joe McKenna, which owned the station from 1956 to 1985.

Disney had been collaborating with Radio AAHS, which was based in Minneapolis and had launched its children's format in 1990.

Disney appealed, and after the court upheld the judgement, it was paid in 2005; with accumulated interest, the total was $12.4 million.

On November 12, 2005, the station made world news when a riot erupted at its "Jingle Jam Concert" featuring B5, forcing the venue, Brookdale Mall, to be closed.

On September 15, 2015, it was announced that Salem Media Group acquired the last five Radio Disney owned-and-operated stations for sale (including KDIZ) for $2.225 million.
