KUDL

KWOD is a business news/talk station that broadcasts at 1660 kHz in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. KWOD is owned by Entercom. Its transmitter is in Westwood, Kansas, and studios are located in Mission, Kansas. The classical music format that the station is well known for started in 1953 as KXTR on the FM dial, at 96.5 MHz. As FM became the preferred band for popular music, revenue declined. In 2000, Entercom moved KXTR to 1250 kHz in the AM band to establish a new pop station, KRBZ, which has since shifted to an alternative rock format. On June 1, 2001, KXTR moved to the new 1660 AM frequency. For a brief period in 2007, the station used the calls WDAF, which formerly belonged to AM sister KCSP. During the 2009 and 2010 summer months, KXTR played Motor Racing Network coverage of NASCAR Sprint cup night events, which may have been a simulcast from sister station KCSP, which already carried both Motor Racing Network and the Performance Racing Network. KXTR is also the home of the Kansas City T-Bones, an independent minor league baseball team in Kansas City, KS. The call letters were changed to KUDL on March 31, 2011; the call letters were transferred from what is now KMBZ-FM.
