KBGG (1700 AM), is a radio station in the Des Moines, Iowa area. It formerly broadcast a Spanish language format and was known as "La Indomable AM." The station is owned by Cumulus Media.
On February 25, 2008, the station relaunched as "1700 The Champ," creating the second sports talk station in the Des Moines market.
History [link]
The station launched on 1390 AM in 1947 with the KCBC call sign, with a 1000 watt directional day and night signal. They launched a sister station at 94.1 FM in 1949 with a beautiful music format. That station went off the air in 1953, and the license was deleted by the FCC. In 1983, KCBC became KMRY, then to a simulcast of KJJY in 1989. The next year, they became KKSO (in reference to the heritage KSO call sign vacated the year prior).
The station moved to a different dial location, on the expanded AM dial at 1700 AM, in 1998, as the 1390 AM frequency and KKSO call letters were deleted. The new call sign was KBGG, shared with its FM sister station. The WSJZ call sign was briefly parked on the frequency from June 6 to June 18 in 2002, then reverted back to KBGG.[1]

Que Poca
by: ALEJANDRO FERNANDEZMe dices que
a llegado el momento
de terminar lo nuestro
y te vas a marchar
Y aclaras que
como pasa en un cuento
siempre existe un principio
luego llega el final
Me dices que
es mejor que sigamos
cada quien por su lado
que me busque otro amor
Que asi es mejor
que para ti es perfecto
que se acabo aquel cuento
que digamos adios
Que poca, marcharte
sin sentir remordimiento
causarme un gran dolor
y un cruel tormento
al dar punto final
a nuestra historia
Que poca, me pides
que nomas seamos amigos
se me hace que te fallan
los sentidos, que poca
pena tienes al pedirlo
Me dices que
es mejor que sigamos
cada quien por su lado
que me busque otro amor
Que asi es mejor
que para ti es perfecto
que se acabo aquel cuento
que digamos adios
Que poca, marcharte
sin sentir remordimiento
causarme un gran dolor
y un cruel tormento
al dar punto final
a nuestra historia
Que poca, me pides
que nomas seamos amigos
se me hace que te fallan
los sentidos, que poca
madre tienes al pedirlo
