History

edit

KDAL-FM previously carried an adult contemporary format under the names "96 Lite FM" and "Magic 95.7". KDAL-FM aired the syndicated Deliliah show weeknights. Upon changing its name to "The Bridge" on January 1, 2006, it aired a variation of the adult hits format that was best described as a classic hits/adult album alternative (AAA) hybrid. In 2008 the station began airing a full-fledged AAA format.

On September 13, 2010, KDAL-FM changed its format to classic rock, branded as "Rock 96" and focusing on rock music from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. By the summer of 2011, "Rock 96" tweaked to a mainstream rock format playing a mix of classic rock and rock from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, to current active rock music, competing between heritage classic rock 94.9 KQDS-FM and active rock 104.3/94.1 KZIO "94X".

On February 18, 2014, KDAL-FM changed its format to adult contemporary, branded as "FM 95.7".[2] On September 21, 2015, KDAL-FM rebranded as "My 95.7".
