KWFO uses a signal booster (KWYFO-1) atop Snow King Mountain in Jackson, Wyoming to provide signal there.[3]
Four other translators also supplement coverage along the east side of the Teton Range. Additionally, the station serves as a regional home for sports broadcasting, including Boise State Broncos athletics, which provides game coverage for fans on both the Idaho and Wyoming sides of the Teton Range.[4]
History
The station first began broadcasting in 2003.[5] It spent most of its early history under the call sign KCHQ, which was synonymous with the regional "River Country" brand. On October 25, 2018, the station dropped its "River Country" branding in favor of "The Wolf," a move designed to align the station with a more modern, high-energy country format.[6] To match the new branding, the call letters were officially changed from KCHQ to KWFO-FM on November 26, 2018.
