KCSI FM 95.3

A commercial FM radio station broadcasting at 95.3 MHz, licensed to Red Oak, Iowa, and serving the broader Council Bluffs metropolitan area in southwestern Iowa. The station carries a country music format and is licensed to Hawkeye Communications, Inc. National news content is provided through Fox News Radio, integrating syndicated news programming into its broadcast schedule. Beyond its music programming, the station functions as a community information hub for the Red Oak and Montgomery County region. Its website and on-air coverage track local events including sports, civic organizations, and community initiatives. Coverage has included local school athletics, the Montgomery County Family YMCA programming calendar, and community service organizations such as Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need across southwestern Iowa. The station reflects the character of the small-market radio environment in rural Iowa, where a single station often serves as the primary source of local news, event listings, and community connection for residents across a wide geographic area. Its programming mix of country music and Fox News Radio content is typical of commercial stations serving agricultural and rural communities in the Midwest, where country music maintains strong cultural roots and listeners often favor conservative-leaning national news sources.
