[1] Prior to 1996, KQDJ-FM was the sister station of KQDJ in Jamestown, North Dakota, and transmitted on the frequency of 95.5 MHz (now used by KYNU "Big Dog Country").

The station used four stereo reel-to-reel tape players to rotate music through a pre-programmed sequence of songs throughout the day.

The system (affectionately known as "Chumley" by the announcers and engineers) was fairly reliable and included five AA-size Fidelipac commercial cart carousels that automatically inserted commercials at pre-programmed times plus two larger carts for announcing the time, one with odd minutes and one with even minutes.

In 1996, the station moved to 101.1 MHz and flipped to a hot adult contemporary format as "Q101", carrying programming from ABC's Today's Best Hits network.

In 2007, the station began carrying Top 40 (CHR) formatted program Romeo's Playhouse in the evening and night hours, and Top 40 (CHR) formatted program Open House Party during the Saturday and Sunday evening and night hours.
