D/FW Radio: KDGE Airs Holiday Hits Now, MAC After Christmas

iHeartMedia Dallas has announced the debut of KDGE Star 102.1 FM, the new home of Mainstream Adult Contemporary (AC) for Dallas Fort Worth. The station kicked off Thursday at 5 p.m. commercial-free featuring around-the-clock Christmas music through the holiday season.

Shortly after Christmas, Star 102.1 will play hits from major artists like Madonna, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson, and Kelly Clarkson. The full programming lineup will be announced soon.


“We are excited to introduce the New Star 102.1 to our listeners! We believe this format will resonate well with the Dallas/Fort Worth audience and is a great complement to our other stations in the market,” said Patrick Davis, Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia Dallas Fort Worth. “While we are kicking off commercial free with Christmas music, we can’t wait to reveal the station’s full programming lineup in the upcoming weeks.”
