History
KDJS officially signed on the air on March 2, 1981, licensed to Willmar, Minnesota.[8] For much of its early broadcasting history, the station served as a staple for classic country music and local community reporting in West Central Minnesota. The station is currently owned by the Iowa City Broadcasting Company, which operates it as part of a local cluster alongside sister stations KDJS-FM and KRVY-FM.[9] In late 2019, the station underwent a significant rebranding, dropping its long-standing country format to become a conservative talk outlet branded as "Fox News Radio 1590."[10]
As of February 2024, KDJS switched to sports with programming from Fox Sports Radio.[11]
