KDLR (1240 AM broadcasting) is an American commercial radio station licensed to serve Devils Lake, North Dakota. The station is owned by Double Z Broadcasting, Inc., and operated along with its three under the collective name Lake Region Radio Works. It airs a classic country music format.
Following the establishment of the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), stations were initially issued a series of temporary authorizations starting on May 3, 1927. "List of broadcasting stations issued temporary permits", Radio Service Bulletin, April 30, 1927, pages 6-14. In addition, they were informed that if they wanted to continue operating, they needed to file a formal license application by January 15, 1928, as the first step in determining whether they met the new "public interest, convenience, or necessity" standard. "Extension of Broadcasting Station Licenses", Radio Service Bulletin, December 31, 1927, page 7. On May 25, 1928, the FRC issued General Order 32, which notified 164 stations, including KDLR, that "From an examination of your application for future license it does not find that public interest, convenience, or necessity would be served by granting it." "Appendix F (2): Letter to and list of stations included in General Order No. 32, issued May 25, 1928", Second Annual Report of the Federal Radio Commission for the Year Ended June 30, 1928, Together With Supplemental Report for the Period From July 1, 1928 to September 30, 1928, pages 146-149. However, the station successfully convinced the commission that it should remain licensed.
On November 11, 1928, the FRC implemented a major reallocation of station transmitting frequencies, as part of a reorganization resulting from its adoption of General Order 40, and KDLR was assigned to 1210 kHz. "Broadcasting Stations", Second Annual Report of the Federal Radio Commission (June 30, 1928), page 184. It moved to 1240 kHz in 1941 with the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement.
