Attention, radio enthusiasts! A bold move has just shaken up the airwaves in The Dalles, Oregon. KODL, the beloved Classic Country station, has flipped its format to News/Talk, leaving many listeners curious and intrigued.
But here's where it gets controversial... This switch fills a void left by Bicoastal Media's decision to transform 1300 KACI and its FM counterpart into a Country music station. So, what does this mean for the local airwaves and the loyal listeners of KODL?
The new lineup promises an engaging mix of national and local programming. Starting your day with the insightful Glenn Beck from 6-9 am, followed by the local favorite "Coffeebreak with Al Wynn" from 10 am to 12 pm, is sure to keep listeners engaged. And this is the part most people miss - the afternoon drive time is dedicated to Lars Larson from 12-3 pm, a well-known voice in the region. The day wraps up with Mark Levin from 3-6 pm, providing a diverse range of perspectives.
In addition to this exciting lineup, KODL will continue to bring local sports enthusiasts the thrill of high school and Oregon State University sports, as well as the beloved Seattle Seahawks football games. It's a testament to the station's commitment to the community.
