History
The station
signed on the air on May 29, 1960. Its original call sign was KTOP-FM, and was the sister station to KTOP (1490 AM). (The KTOP-FM call letters are now found on a co-owned station at 102.9 MHz in St. Marys.) At first, KTOP-AM-FM simulcast and were network affiliates of the Mutual Broadcasting System. In 1964, KTOP-AM-FM were acquired by Harris Enterprises.[4]
By the 1970s, KTOP-FM had a separate format from 1490 AM. While KTOP (AM) was a
FM stereo
. During this time, KTOP-FM switched its call letters to KDVV. The Top 40 format continued throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s.
The station has aired various forms of
Bob & Tom Show. KDVV serves now as the de facto active rock station for Topeka, Junction City, and Manhattan since the nearest active rock station provides only rimshot
coverage.
