Radio Markets in and around Wisconsin, page 2
This page contains dial summaries for the principal metropolitan areas in Iowa. It provides current information on call letters, format, slogan, studio address, and web site. "Last monitored" gives the date of my most recent trip in or near the market during which I monitored all or most of the stations; changes I hear about subsequently are added to the site promptly. The city of license is given only when it differs from the city in the heading. Street addresses (no P O Boxes) are in parentheses; when two or more stations share a studio location, the address appears with the station on the lowest frequency, and the other stations refer to that frequency - e.g., "(1060)." Addresses, taken from the station's web site or its FCC Public Inspection File, include the city only when it differs from the station's city of license. Low-power FM stations are not included, and FM translators that relay an AM station and selected others are included. "//" refers to a simulcast.
These are the markets summarized on this page. Click on a city to view its stations, and then use your "back" key to return to this list.
