Classic Rock, Rock, USA

KGGO (94.9 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station in Des Moines, Iowa. It is owned by Cumulus Media and airs a classic rock radio format. The station's studios and offices are in Urbandale, Iowa, with Cumulus Media's other Des Moines stations: KJJY, KHKI, KWQW, and KBGG. (Before 2001, KGGO's studios were located in Berwick, north of Des Moines.) KGGO carries two nationally syndicated shows on its weekday schedule, The Bob & Tom Show, in morning drive time and Nights with Alice Cooper in the evening. Middays and afternoons feature local DJs.
KGGO has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the maximum output for non-grandfathered FM stations. The transmitter is located off 24th Street SE, near 6th Avenue SE, in Altoona.

The first radio station to occupy the 94.9 FM frequency in Des Moines was KNDR (New Directions Radio), which signed on in 1961. It was under the ownership of the Hopkins family, with studios in the Brown Hotel. But in the early 1960s, few people owned FM radios. The station left the air a year later due to financial problems.
