The station signed on as KNOS in 1997, and initially targeted Omaha's African American community with a wide-ranging urban format that included gospel music, jazz, R&B and hip-hop music, as well as talk programming. The station was sold to a Catholic group in early 1999, and flipped to religious programming.[1]
In 2009, the then-KVSS purchased KBZR (102.7 FM) from Chapin Enterprises of Lincoln for $4.5 million. On June 1, 2009, KVSS moved the signal from Lincoln to Gretna, renting space on a tower owned by TV station KPTM. (Jim Carroll, executive director of KVSS)[2]
On August 24, 2009, KYFG began broadcasting programming from the Bible Broadcasting Network.
