Thank you for listening across your work day to 104.5 KDAT. I know that you work very hard every day at the office and we strive to keep you entertained with a whole lot of great music and some fun too!

My favorite KDAT artists include Sting, "The Sarahs" and Adele. Enjoy your trip through kdat.com!
