CHR-Rhythmic KDRB Des Moines Changes To "The Bus"

[EvanJ]

On October 1, 2003, Clear Channel changed their Smooth Jazz station in Des Moines to CHR-Rhythmic and changed the call letters to KDRB (the market previously had no CHR-Rhythmic, Urban, or Urban AC stations) and it killed sister "Kiss" CHR-Pop station KKDM which used to have a rating in the 11s and now has a rating in the 4s. Now on radio-info I read that KDRB has changed to "The Bus," a Jack-like format and that KKDM will get more rhythmic. KDRB is the highest rated of Clear Channel's four FMs in the market and seventh overall and KKDM is the second highest of CC's four FMs in the market and tied for ninth overall. I hope KKDM's rating go up.
