History

KDBH has had multiple frequencies and power levels during its lifetime on the air. First records show this station originally as a 3,000 watt at 100 meters HAAT broadcasting station on 97.7 MHz till 2001. The station was then authorized by the FCC, to drop to 94 meters in height and increase to a power of 25,000 watts, with a frequency change to 97.3 MHz, where it stayed until an agreement was made with Cumulus Media, to downgrade coverage once again to a class A station with 6,000 watts and movement to a frequency of 97.5 MHz, to allow for the positioning of station KQHN FM on 97.3 MHz in the Shreveport, Louisiana radio market, due to interference KQHN caused on their original frequency of 107.9 MHz to Barksdale Air Force Base. ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]
