Before KHDK

edit
Formats of KHDK
Name (call signs) Format
KKMI (simulcast) (KKNL) Adult Contemporary (2001–2005)
HOT 97.3 Contemporary Hit Radio (2005–present)

Before CHR made its 2006 debut in the Burlington-Fort Madison area on 97.3, the station was known as KKNL (K K New London). KKNL was actually a simulcast of 93.5 KKMI to provide a better signal to Mount Pleasant, as the 93.5 signal is hard to receive in the Mount Pleasant Area. The simulcast lasted for four years, until late-2005 when KKNL broke away from KKMI, emerging as the Tri-States New Hit Music Channel: Hot 97 dot 3.
