History
KPDQ first
daytimer, powered at 1,000 watts
but required to go off the air at sunset. The station specialized in religious programming.
In 1961, KPDQ added an FM station, KPDQ-FM, originally at 93.7 MHz.[5] At first, it was a simulcast of KPDQ, but began separate religious programming by the end of the 1960s. In the 1980s, Davis' son, George Davis II, became the president of the Inspirational Broadcasting Corporation, the new name for the company that owned both stations.
In August 1986, Inspirational Broadcasting sold KPDQ-AM-FM to
FM translator
in the mid-2010s, for listeners who prefer FM radio.
