Dodge City Community College (DC3) was recognized on Friday, Sept. 27, by High Plains Public Radio (HPPR), for the donation of its KONQ-FM 91.9 radio frequency and transmitter. After the 2023 sale of the college’s physical radio station property, which was located at 3004 N. 14th Ave., DC3 legally transferred the KONQ-FM frequency to HPPR on July 25, 2023. Prior to the transfer, DC3 and HPPR had been sharing broadcast time on KONQ-FM since 2015, due to the phasing out of the college’s radio and TV program.
