History

KQDY first signed on the air on September 13, 1968, originally operating under the call sign KBMR-FM. The station was the first stereo radio station in the Bismarck area. The call sign was changed to KQDY in 1975.
The station's ownership was part of a cluster operated by Anderson Broadcasting before being sold. A proposed sale to Cumulus Media in 1999 ultimately failed due to regulatory concerns. KQDY was eventually acquired by Clear Channel Communications in 2004.
