After cable system drops MTV and VH1, station organizes campaign to reinstate them

Seizing an opportunity to raise its profile in the Des Moines, Iowa, radio landscape, alternative rock newcomer KKDM(FM) is helping its listeners to get back their MTV.

Shortly after Tele-Communications Inc. pulled MTV and sister channel VH1 from its Des Moines lineup on Dec. 30, KKDM announcers began urging listeners to petition the cable giant to resurrect MTV and VH1. (TCI subsequently introduced two new channels to the market, Animal Planet and the Cartoon Network, on Dec. 30.)
