KDWB is one of the Twin Cities radio stations I frequently have playing in my car. I enjoy…read morelistening to the Dave Ryan show in the morning, the current hits/popular songs during rush hour, and calling into the variety of contests/giveaways they offer every day. I have won concert tickets multiple times through the phone and through their random drawings in-person...I like how many chances and opportunities they give people to win! Their radio DJs also have a lot of spunk and personality which as someone who tunes in often, makes me want to listen more. Another reason that makes KDWB one of my radio stations of choice is that they hold such fun and interactive events to get the local community together. For example, I have been to two of their "Bachelorette Viewing Parties" this summer and it's always a great time. We got free goodies and enjoyed the company at the gorgeous KDWB studios. KDWB seems to get a lot of backlash and criticism for their lack of "good music" but I think it depends on who you talk to...they play plenty of new songs and oldies but goodies. I think the music is geared toward a younger audience, so don't expect any classic hits if you tune into KDWB.

I love listening to the morning show. listened to Dave forever and the dynamic between him and the…read moreyounger generation is great. their bits are hilarious and I love hearing all the laughter ! makes me smile keep it up!

I do find it irritating when they link me to articles that will not allow me to read them, ie: Minneapolis Star /Tribune that won't allow me to read the article, as I am not a subscriber to their paper.

Oh yeah...they also are the radio home of the Minnesota Vikings. Don't get me started on AM 1500 ESPN ...their recent format change caused them to farm out 80% of the day to ESPN. What did that get them you might ask? Horribley annoying syndicated radio from guys we know dont give a crap about Minnesota. With that comes greatly reduced local coverage...unless you count the 5 hours of Patrick Ruesse's smokers cough.

Kessler's mother, Rose, just turned 101 years old and has so many memories of growing up and living her life with 13 children here in Minnesota. Kudos to her and the family. So many of us can relate to having older generations living on family farms here in the Midwest and we would love to rekindle those memories. Mr. Kessler is such a great storyteller!
