Des Moines AM Station, FM Translator Sold to Current Operator

Posted on June 29, 2025 by Jon Ellis

After completing a signal shuffle earlier this year, Iowa Catholic Radio is selling two Des Moines stations to the company that currently programs “La Ley” on the signals.

An asset purchase agreement says KDLX Latin Broadcasting will pay Iowa Catholic Radio’s parent organization, Trinity Communications, $810,000 for KDLX/1150 (Des Moines) and K233BT/94.5 (Des Moines).

KDLX Latin Broadcasting is owned by Juan Rodriguez and is a sister company to Latin World Communications, owner of KDLF/1260 (Boone-Des Moines) and K243CO/96.5 (Boone-Des Moines).

Trinity Communications purchased the former home of “La Ley,” KDLS-FM/105.5 (Perry-Des Moines), in 2023. “La Ley” and Iowa Catholic Radio swapped dial positions on April 1.

1150 changed its callsign from KWKY to KLDX simultaneously with the format swap.
