KDKS-FM (102.1MHz, "102.1 KDKS") is an American radio stationlicensed toBlanchard, Louisiana. The station broadcasts anurban adult contemporary format. The station serves theShreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area. KDKS-FM is owned byConnoisseur Media, through licensee Alpha Media Licensee LLC. Its studios are located just north of downtown Shreveport, and the transmitter is in Blanchard.
Around the late 1990s to early 2000s KDKS, originally called"HOT 102", was launched with anurban contemporary format originally as one of the first competitors to challengeKMJJ, and was launched alongside sister stationKBTT (then arhythmic). At first it was an urban AC station until it chose to aim at a more broader 18–49 audience by adding hip hop to the playlist a little later on. WhenKVMA-FM was launched in 2004, KDKS decided to turn its format back around to urban AC and instead take its newcoming urban rival on, while the owners shifted KBTT from rhythmic tomainstream urban and take on KMJJ from that point. Originally the home ofTom Joyner (moved to KVMA), KDKS is now the syndicated home ofSteve Harvey in the mornings.
State RepresentativeRoy A. Burrell of Shreveport is a former talk show host on KDKS.[2]
