History

KCGS was under the ownership of Southland Broadcasting Corporation from 2002 to 2008. In late 2008, the station was sold to the Word and Faith Christian Church Inc. for $300,000.^[3] Effective December 21, 2012, the station was sold to Steven & Alice Kiefer, through licensee Kiefer Retirement Services, Inc. Steve Kiefer changed the format to reflect a Christian news/talk formula. Steve hosted a live show each weekday morning covering current news and issues from a Biblical perspective.

On April 26, 2017, KCGS filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to transfer the license to Ichthus Outreach Ministries, LLC for $100. The sale was completed on July 10, 2017.^[4]

The FCC cancelled the station’s license on November 14, 2024.^[5] At the time of the closure, the station had been simulcasting with KCGS-FM (88.1).^[6]
