History

In November 1986, Yates Broadcasting Co., Inc., reached an agreement to sell KCBW to Bick Broadcasting Company. The deal was approved by the FCC on December 9, 1986, and the transaction was consummated on December 30, 1986.[1]

After running a Top 40 music format for much of the 1970s and early-1980s, the station flipped its format to adult contemporary in 1987.

The station was assigned new call letters KSDL by the Federal Communications Commission on August 10, 1992.[2]

In May 2006, Bick Broadcasting Company reached an agreement to sell this station to Double O Radio holding company Double O Missouri Corporation.[3] The deal was approved by the FCC on June 30, 2006, and the transaction was consummated on August 31, 2006.[4] [5] Double O Radio later merged with Townsquare Media.

On March 28, 2019, the station rebranded from Bob FM to Awesome 92.3.[6]

At 3pm on November 17, 2023, "Awesome 92.3" dropped the classic hits format and branding to become Santa 92.3.[7] [8] On December 21, 2023, it was announced that KSDL will flip back to adult contemporary after the Christmas season, branding as "Mix 92.3".[9]
