KDBN branded as 93.3 FM - The Bone, is a classic rock radio station in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in Texas. This FM outlet is one of the newer signals in the market and began broadcasting in 1996 as KKZN "The Zone", with an adult alternative format and mediocre ratings. After a short-lived rebranding as KKMR "Merge", the switch to KDBN "The Bone", with a classic rock format, occurred in January 2002. This produced an initial spike in ratings, though the station has since lost much of that audience.
Marcos Rodriguez was the first to control the license after having successfully obtained it directly from the FCC. After his financing source defaulted, Rodriguez sold the license to Susquehanna Radio. Cumulus Media subsequently took control of the station in May 2006 as part of its acquisition of Susquehanna, instituted cost-cutting measures, and completely restored a classic rock format after the station had experimented with more recent rock offerings. The station also carries Dallas Cowboys football games.
KDBN also broadcasts an HD Radio subchannel at KDBN-HD2. This HD subchannel, branded as Energy 93.3, has an all 90s format.
