Des Moines-Area Station Switches to VCY America Network

Posted on November 16, 2021 by Jon Ellis

KTIA-FM/99.3 (Huxley-Des Moines) has switched from one kind of Christian Talk to another after being sold to VCY America.

Milwaukee-based VCY closed on its purchase of the station from Truth Broadcasting on Monday, Nov. 15. VCY America’s lineup includes Christian teaching during the day and sacred music overnight.

KTIA-FM transmits from near Sheldahl with 5.5kW at 95 meters above average terrain, rimshotting Des Moines and Ames.

A post on VCY’s website says the station will change its callsign to KVDI, though it was still listed in the FCC database as KTIA-FM as of Tuesday.

Regionally, VCY also operates KVCI/89.7 (Montezuma), which covers a large area southeast of Des Moines after an upgrade to 100kW last year.
