KMGL is the radio partner of KWTV, which simulcasts News 9's severe weather coverage if a Tornado Warning is issued within the Oklahoma City metro area.

The station at 104.1 FM began life when an initial construction permit was issued on July 1, 1964, to BBC, Inc.[1] (no relation to the British Broadcasting Corporation) was a consortium of local businessmen including Loyd Benefield, Jean Everest, and Leonard Savage.

[5] KOFM operated 24 hours a day with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts, providing broad coverage of the entire market.

Later, under the ownership of American Media, KOFM flipped to Top 40/CHR programmed by Mike Miller, John Jenkins and Charlie Cooper, and used the positioning statement "Rockin' With The Hits".

[11] Over time, KMGL became a fully live AC-formatted station under the direction of program director and morning personality Steve O'Brien.

In January 1988, Guy Gannett sold the station to Renda Broadcasting, marking the company's first expansion outside of its home market of Pittsburgh.

Oklahoma City's first radio station to do all-Christmas music was KWHP during the 1960s, followed by KQSR starting on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

KMGL, along with its sister FM stations in Oklahoma City including KOMA and KRXO-FM, broadcast on HD Radio for a short time from 2006 through 2008.

University of Oklahoma fans with radios at the stadium had complained that the station's play-by-play was behind the actual game action.
