KZDR (92.7 FM, "The Drive") is an American radio station that airs a classic hits format. Licensed to Kindred, North Dakota, it serves the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. The station is owned by Robert Ingstad's Mediactive, LCC. James Ingstad (dba Radio Fargo-Moorhead, Inc.), the uncle of Robert Ingstad, owns several radio stations in the Fargo market and operates KZDR. ==History== The station began life in 1984 as KDDR-FM on 92.3 FM in Oakes, North Dakota. In 1992 the station moved to 92.7 FM, and changed its city of license to Kindred, North Dakota to serve the nearby Fargo-Moorhead area, and changed the call sign to KSSZ-FM to reflect its change to a contemporary hit radio format as "92.7 Kiss FM". KSSZ changed to a contemporary Christian music format as "Power 92", and changed its call sign to KPHT in 1995. The station became KULW with an oldies format as "Kool 92.7" in 1999, and sold to Clear Channel Communications in 2000. In 2001, it changed to "B93" with a country music format, with the call sign KFAB-FM. B93 moved towards a classic country format and changed its name to "Outlaw Country" in 2003. KFAB-FM became Fargo's Adult Hits outlet (also known as "Jack") with the "My FM" moniker. The format only lasted five months from May to October in 2005 before reverting to its previous format as "Outlaw Country". KFAB-FM's owner at the time, Clear Channel Communications, sold its Fargo stations to James Ingstad's ''Radio Fargo-Moorhead, Inc.'' on January 19, 2007. KFAB-FM was transferred to Northwestern College, for WDAY-FM's use of KFNW-FM's tower and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ownership limit of the Fargo market was 6 stations, though Clear Channel grandfathered KDAM, the seventh station. KFAB-FM signed off the air on January 19, 2007 transitioning ownership from Clear Channel Communications (now ''Radio Fargo-Moorhead, Inc.'') to Northwestern College, and signed on as KFNL "Legacy 92.7" with an adult standards format on February 5, 2007. Since then it has switched to an adult contemporary Christian format concentrating on praise and worship music. In March 2012, Northwestern College sold KFNL to Robert Ingstad's Mediactive, LCC. The station changed to active rock as "92.7 The Bone" on March 29, 2012, competing against KQWB-FM "Q98" operated by James Ingstad's Radio Fargo-Moorhead. On February 28, 2013, KFNL went silent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Format Changes )〕 The station changed its call sign on September 3, 2013 to the current KZDR and, on September 6th, it came back on air playing all-Taylor Swift as ''Taylor 92.7''. 5 days later, on the 11th, KZDR introduced a Classic Hits format as ''92.7 The Drive'', promoting themselves as "Fargo's Greatest Hits". This comes as part of the major radio shuffle in Fargo-Moorehead that involves 5 stations so far changing formats. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KZDR」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
