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.[2] On June 12, 2015, KQQL-HD3 and W244CS flipped to 96.7 Pride Radio, a Dance/CHR format targeting the Twin Cities' LGBT community.[3]
On August 27, 2018, the station flipped to sports talk as KFAN Plus, an extension of sister station KFXN-FM that airs the national Fox Sports Radio lineup, also carried on KQQL-HD3.[4] KFAN Plus will also serve as the flagship station of Minnesota Golden Gophers women's basketball. The station can also air the start of another play-by-play broadcast if KFAN 100.3's broadcast is running long.[5]
On August 7, 2019, iHeartMedia announced its intent to sell the station to the Educational Media Foundation as part of a complex swap deal.[6] The transaction was consummated on March 31, 2020.
