01History
KKDM was established by local businessman Rich Eychaner as Midwest Radio, Inc. KKDM signed on the air for the first time as modern rock-formatted "107.5 the Dot", on September 20, 1995. Eychanner sold Midwest Radio Inc. to Clear Channel Communications in July 1999. At 6 p.m. on July 2 of that year, Clear Channel swapped KKDM's modern rock format and programming with new sister station KCCQ (which had recently moved to a new frequency and increased power) in exchange for that station's CHR format. KKDM was rebranded as "Kiss 107.5", which later rebranded as "107.5 KISS FM".
