History
The station signed on the air in May 1938. Its original call sign was KWLK and it broadcast on 780 kilocycles. It moved to 1370 kHz in 1940, then to 1400 kHz in 1941, as a result of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA). The station changed its call sign to KEDO on November 10, 1958. On September 6, 2010, KEDO changed its format from oldies to talk.
On September 2, 2021, the KEDO call sign and the talk/sports format moved to 1270 AM Longview, swapping frequencies and call signs with country-formatted KBAM, which moved to 1400 AM.[4]
