History

In 1926, Decorah's first radio station started broadcasting from the south end of the second floor of the Ben Bear building, with Charles Greenley the announcer. Charles Greenley had been an employee of Ben Bear in various capacities. He was put in charge of the new radio station, known by the call letters KGCA. In December 1926, Luther College founded its own station known as KWLC.

On September 30, 2019, KDEC changed their format from oldies to a simulcast of adult contemporary-formatted KMRV 1160 AM Waukon.[1]

On May 8, 2021, KDHK started broadcasting in HD with The River on HD2.
