    History[edit]

    KDRO first signed on the air at 1490 kHz on September 13, 1939.

    In February 1990, Sedalia Broadcasting Corporation reached an agreement to sell this station to Mathewson Broadcasting Co. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 16, 1990, and the transaction was consummated on June 7, 1990.[2]

    In April 2006, Jim Mathewson of Mathewson Broadcasting Co. entered into a local marketing agreement with Denny Benne of Benne Broadcasting.[3]

    In Spring 2017, KDRO switched to a news/talk format.

    As of 2023, KDRO and its translator, K267CO (101.3 FM) broadcast a country music format.
