History

The studio and radio tower for the station, in Ogden, Utah.

The station was built by pioneer Utah broadcaster Arch Webb in April 1948 with call sign KVOG - the "Voice of Ogden" and subsequently changed to KJQN on December 1, 1978, and again on June 28, 1993 to KJOE. The radio station was acquired by the Bible Broadcasting Network from US Bankruptcy Court in Salt Lake City, UT in 2004.^[2]^[3] The station went to non-commercial status and the call sign changed on May 16, 1994 to KYFO. KYFO aired primarily religious programming. The station was then sold to AM Radio 1490, Inc in 2005, and changed to the call sign KOGN on May 1, 2006.^[4]

On May 29, 2009, The Fifth District Court of Utah in Washington County appointed a receiver to take over KOGN for US Capital, Incorporated of Boulder, Colorado, an investment group which foreclosed on Legecy Media, the owners of KOGN and several other stations. The receiver sold the station to Familia Broadcasting, LLC of Salt Lake City in a court approved sale, at a price of $25,000; the purchase was consummated on May 31, 2013.
