[edit] History

KGLI signed on with a Top 40 (CHR) format as "KG95" in 1983. The station remained a Top 40 station until tweaking to hot adult contemporary on March 13, 2006 when co-owned adult contemporary KSFT-FM switched to Top 40 as "KISS 107". KG95 has been a consistent leader in their core demo of woman 25-54 during their 25 year presence in Sioux City.
