History

As of October 2, 2014, KQQL's Kool 1-0-80s format was being broadcast on KQQL's HD3 channel and on translator W244CS (96.7 FM) in the Southeast metro.^[1] On June 12, 2015, KQQL-HD3 and W244CS changed their format to dance, branded as "96.7 Pride Radio". In addition, W244CS became K244FE, and moved its transmitter to the IDS Center.

"96.7 Pride Radio" is the first analog station for the LGBT community in the United States, and the second after Toronto's CIRR-FM in North America. K244FE is an extension of the national "Pride Radio" format available on iHeartRadio and on New York City's WKTU-HD2.
