History
KLFN officially began broadcasting in 2003.[4] The station is owned and operated by the Lakeland Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of the Linder family's media interests.[5] It operates as a sister station to the heritage news/talk outlet KWLM and the classic rock station KKLN.[6] In January 2024, control of the station was officially transferred to Lakeland Media LLC, a partnership between J. David Linder and Lynn Ketelsen.[7] This acquisition was part of a broader $1.5 million deal that included heritage sister stations KWLM, KQIC, and KOLV. In early 2025, the group further expanded by acquiring Benson-based stations KSCR-FM and KBMO to create a larger regional broadcasting network.[8]
