📖 About

KDDD-FM (95.3 FM), broadcasting as 'Big Country 95.3', is a commercial radio station licensed to Dumas, Texas, and serving the northern Texas Panhandle. The station's rich heritage is tied to its pioneering AM sister station KDDD, which originally launched in 1948. The call sign itself is famously derived from the 1920s novelty song 'I'm a Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas' written by Phil Baxter. Over the decades, the media group has played a crucial foundational role in local broadcasting history, even tying into early rock and roll history during the 1950s when local musicians linked with artists like Buddy Knox and Jimmy Bowen. Programming-wise, KDDD-FM specializes in a classic country format mixed with Texas and Red Dirt music, appealing strongly to local agricultural communities, families, and country music enthusiasts across Moore County and surrounding areas. In addition to its curated rotation of timeless country hits and modern traditional tracks, the station broadcasts essential local news updates, community information, and regional high school sports coverage. It also incorporates trusted network programming content from ABC Radio to keep regional listeners well-informed on national and international developments. Owned by Grant Merrill and Ben Buckland through Southwest Media Group - Dumas, LLC, KDDD-FM maintains deep community roots and operates out of Dumas, Texas. Alongside its primary 95.3 FM terrestrial broadcast, the station expands its audience reach through online streaming feeds and digital platforms, ensuring that former residents and expatriate Panhandle fans can stay connected to local hometown broadcasting wherever they go.
