KDPS
KDPS was a radio station in Des Moines, Iowa. The station was owned by Des Moines Public Schools. The school district used to program the station with a variety of rock music styles and staffed it with high school students who were learning radio. For its last 45 years, evenings and weekends were filled by Grand View University programming from college students on weekdays and Kids Radio Mania pre-teen music on weekends, holidays and some summers. Note that the blue logo shown for "Edge 88.1" combines the old Grand View University bumper sticker "Edge 88" logo with the newer Central Campus high school KDPS design. Search online for examples of the real past logos from both sides of the station.
