KNGN (1360AM) is aradio station broadcasting areligious music format.[2] It is licensed toMcCook, Nebraska and owned by My Bridge.[3]

History

[edit]

Secular programming

[edit]

KWRV signed on the air on June 23, 1961.[4] It was owned by the Regional Broadcasting Corporation and maintained studios on Norris Street in McCook.[5] KWRV was knocked off the air for two hours one day in May 1962 when a snake pursued a mouse into its transmitter.[6]

KWRV was sold in 1966 to Semeco Broadcasting Corporation—named for principals Walter E. Sehnert, Vernon A. Meints, and KWRV general sales manager W. O. Corrick—for $91,000.[7] The new owners changed the station's call letters to KICX effective May 19, 1966.[5] The station maintained a middle-of-the-road music format and affiliations with the ABC Information and Intermountain networks.[4] KICX's programming began to be simulcast onKICX-FM 95.9 when that station signed on January 31, 1979.[8]

Change to religion

[edit]

Semeco, now owned by Corrick's estate, sold KICX-AM-FM to Ron Crowe and Associates for $200,000 in 1989.[9] In order to buy another McCook station, KSWN, Crowe had to spin off a station, and he chose to donate KICX AM to theLutheran Church–Missouri Synod.[10] The station relaunched as KNGN, for "Kansas Nebraska Good News", on April 8, 1990.[11] Locally, the station was operated by Peace Lutheran Church and relied heavily on programming from the synod'sKFUO in St. Louis.[12]

However, as time went on, the synod could no longer afford to continue running the station. As a result, in 2001, the station's license was transferred to the locally based Kansas Nebraska Good News Broadcasting Corporation.[13] The station also relocated from its original studios at Peace Lutheran to a larger facility at a former country school in McCook.[13]

In 2018, the station added an FM translator, K252FV on 98.3 MHz. The new translator enabled the station to go 24-hours for the first time in its history.[13]

On August 2, 2022, the station's owners filed to transfer the broadcast license to MyBridge Radio.[14] The sale, which included translator K252FV, was consummated on May 22, 2023 at a price of $40,000.
