Powell Broadcasting, which operates six broadcast radio stations in northwestern Iowa, has launched an online Contemporary Christian station.
“Spirit 712” is named after the region’s area code and is based out of Le Mars, targeting a region from Sioux City to Sheldon. Even though numerous similar music streams are already available online, the station says that it’s providing local weather, announcements, and other information to make the format unique to northwestern Iowa.
The station streams through a website, mobile apps, and Alexa.
Powell’s other stations in the region include “Classic Rock 99.5” (KKMA Le Mars-Sioux City), “Y Country 101.3” (KKYY Whiting-Sioux City), Hot Adult Contemporary station “Q102” (KQNU/102.1 Onawa-Sioux City), Country outlet “K-Sioux 105.7” (KSUX Winnebago-Sioux City), News/Talker KSCJ/1360 (Sioux City), and full service outlet KLEM/1410 (Le Mars). The AM stations also have FM translators.
