KQWC-FM (95.7 MHz) is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock music format.[2] Licensed to Webster City, Iowa, United States, the station serves the Fort Dodge area. The station is currently licensed to Fieldview Broadcasting LLC.[3]
The station first began broadcasting in 1969.[4] In 1971, the Go-Rich Corporation, led by G.D. Warland, purchased the station from Jack Whitesell of Iowa Falls and changed the callsign to KQWC.[5]
In 1991, the station underwent a significant technical upgrade, moving from its original frequency of 95.9 MHz to 95.7 MHz. This move coincided with the construction of a new 445-foot tower and an increase in power from 3,000 watts to 25,000 watts, expanding its coverage area across north-central Iowa. The station was acquired in 2019 by Danette and Kirk Graeve through Fieldview Broadcasting LLC.[6][7]
