| Name (call signs) | Format |

| HOT 97.3 | Contemporary Hit Radio (2005–present) |
Before CHR made its 2006 debut in the Burlington-Fort Madison area on 97.3, the station was known as KKNL (K K New London). KKNL was actually a simulcast of 93.5 KKMI to provide a better signal to Mount Pleasant, as the 93.5 signal is hard to receive in the Mount Pleasant Area. The simulcast lasted for four years, until late-2005 when KKNL broke away from KKMI, emerging as the Tri-States New Hit Music Channel: Hot 97 dot 3.
