History

Drake first began radio operations in 1982, with carrier current station "KDRK". From 2000 to 2006, it broadcast online and on campus TV sets as "KDCS Bulldog Radio". Until 2015, it was a time-shared station with KGVC-LP of Grand View College, later Grand View University; when the license for KGVC-LP was surrendered, it allowed KDRA-LP to go full-time on 94.1. On June 10, 2019, Drake University notified the FCC that KDRA-LP would cease operations on or before August 15, 2019, and that it would be surrendering the station's license.[4] Its license was cancelled on January 5, 2021.
