KTDD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KTDD is a classic country station owned by Clear Channel Communications. It broadcasts on 1350 AM. The station was known for years as KCKC-AM and was the number one country station in the Riverside / San Bernardino market until country station KFRG-FM came on the air in the late 1980s. In 1993 it switched to a news talk format which lasted until 1996. From 1997-1998 the station returned to a country music format, this time concentrating on classic country. The station took on the nickname "The Big Dog" during this period. Later the station was sold to Clear Channel Communications. After brief periods as a sports-talk station and a Spanish language station, the company changed the format to news and talk and the call letters to KEWS. In 2002 it was changed back to a classic country station and the call letters were changed to KTDD (meaning "the Toad", a play on rival KFRG-FM, which calls itself "K-Frog").
Former KCKC DJs Bill Georgi and J.W. Bradbury were hired as two of the Toad's DJs, along with other DJs, some of whom were previously heard on other country radio stations. As of 2006, Bill Georgi, who is also the station's program director, is the only local DJ still heard on the station. He hosts the station's morning show Monday through Friday. The rest of the day features an automated national format hosted by other DJs. The station also carries NASCAR races and some public affairs programming on the weekends.
