History

As of October 2, 2014, KQQL's Kool 1-0-80s format was being broadcast on KQQL's HD3 channel and on translator W244CS in the Southeast metro. On June 12, 2015, KQQL-HD3 and W244CS flipped to 96.7 Pride Radio, a Dance/CHR format targeting the Twin Cities' LGBT community.
On August 27, 2018, the station flipped to sports talk as KFAN Plus, an extension of sister station KFXN-FM that airs the national Fox Sports Radio lineup, also carried on KQQL-HD3. KFAN Plus will also serve as the flagship station of Minnesota Golden Gophers women's basketball.
On August 7, 2019, iHeartMedia announced its intent to sell the station to the Educational Media Foundation as part of a complex swap deal. The station is expected to begin airing religious programming upon the sale's closure, although it is currently unknown which network it will join.
