KFSW (1650 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a southern gospel format to the Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States, area.
KFSW's signal has one of the largest coverage areas for a Fort Smith AM station, while the broadcast radius from FM translator K254AM (98.7 MHz) reaches as far away from Fort Smith as Spiro and Muldrow in Oklahoma as well as Greenwood and Van Buren in Arkansas.
On March 17, 1997 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KWHN, also in Fort Smith, authorized to move from 1320 to 1650 kHz.
In order to be allowed time to decide how to best proceeded (sic) with this facility, the licensee requests Special Temporary Authority to remain silent for up to 1 year.
[10] That same year the station was sold to Ms. Kim Media LLC (Kim Girdner) for $50,000,[11] who in turn transferred the license the next year to G2 Media Group LLC, owned by her husband, Darren F. Girdner, for "assumption of liabilities".
