History
The station's history dates back to 1981 when it first went on the air with the call sign KNEY. It was originally owned and operated by Sorenson Broadcasting for 34 years, alongside its sister station KCCR-AM. The call sign was later changed to KLXS.
In 2006, NRG Media became the station's operator, marking the end of Sorenson Broadcasting's long ownership. However, the ownership under NRG Media was brief. In February 2008, Riverfront Broadcasting LLC, a company owned by Yankton, South Dakota residents Carolyn and Doyle Becker, reached an agreement with NRG Media to purchase KLXS-FM.[4][5]
The agreement with NRG Media to purchase the station was part of a six station deal.[6]
