The station is currently owned by Leighton Broadcasting, and competes with iHeartMedia's active rock 107.5 KJKJ "KJ108" and classic hits KQHT "96.1 The Fox".

KGFK/1590 previously aired a news/talk format as KCNN, and starting focusing on nationally syndicated talk shows after being bought by Leighton Broadcasting in 2003 to differentiate with co-owned KNOX.

Before K300BG's sign on, Fargo-based classic rock station KPFX "107.9 The Fox" could sometimes be heard in Grand Forks.

KGFK also broadcasts Minnesota Twins baseball and local high school sports.

KGFK successfully competes with iHeartMedia's heritage active rock KJKJ/107.5 "KJ108" and classic hits KQHT "96.1 The Fox" for the lucrative upper demographics in Grand Forks and continues to do so.
