==HD Radio== On April 25, 2006, Clear Channel Communications (now [[iHeartMedia]]), announced that KDWB's [[HD Radio|HD2 subchannel]] will carry a format focusing on dance hits. The HD2 signed the following July as the ''Party Zone''. "Party Zone" is also the name of the Friday and Saturday night show on KDWB simulcasted from local clubs that in the past has been hosted by the likes of Tone E. Fly, Gerry Dixon and Michael Knight. After six months of running jockless, the subchannel began to add announcers (from KDWB) to its programming.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}} In 2010, the Party Zone format began broadcasting on [[K273BH]], its FM translator at 102.5, which covers the area. They were one of two outlets in the Clear Channel roster that did not use the [[Club Phusion]] Dance format, as this one featured a live presentation over the air. The other one is [[KXJM]] [[Portland, Oregon]], who launched "Too Wild HD2" in January 2012, customized for that market.{{Citation needed|date=May 2019}} On April 29, 2013, the Party Zone format was dropped in favor of an [[Adult Contemporary]] format. In e-mails exchanged with the KDWB programming director, it was discovered that ultimately the station will air "songs recorded in Studio C from [[Cities 97]]", which began on July 15, 2013. [[K273BH]] was flipped to relay [[KTCZ-FM|KTCZ-HD2]]. In 2017, KDWB-HD2 changed to iHeart's "Trancid" format. In May 2018, the station activated an HD3 sub-channel, and began airing an [[adult hits]] format as "[[Minnesota State Fair]] Radio". After [[KQQL|KQQL-HD3]]/[[K244FE]] dropped the "Pride Radio" format and flipped to [[sports talk]] as "KFAN Plus" in August 2018, the "Pride Radio" format moved to KDWB-HD2. On November 16, 2018, KDWB-HD3 briefly switched to KQQL's classic hits format (while KQQL made its annual flip to Christmas music that same day). However, on November 30, KDWB-HD3 switched to a [[country music|country]] format branded as "The Bull 101.3-HD3." Gregg Swedberg, program director and operations manager of sister [[KEEY]], says that the "Bull" format "just plays country music, with no pop crossovers".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/172429/iheart-plays-country-brand-blocker-in-minneapolis/|title=iHeart Plays Country Brand Blocker In Minneapolis|date=November 30, 2018|website=radioinsight.com|access-date=May 9, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.countryaircheck.com/|title=Country Aircheck|website=countryaircheck.com|access-date=May 9, 2019}}</ref> In May 2019, KDWB-HD3 reverted to its previous "Minnesota State Fair Radio" branding and Country/Adult Hits format.
