KFOR signed on the air in March 1924. It was the fourth radio station in Nebraska. [5] Its original city of license was David City, Nebraska. New owners moved the station to Lincoln in 1927, with studios in the Hotel Lincoln.
In the 1930s, the station broadcast on 1210 kilocycles. It had 250 watts of power but it was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night. In 1941, with the enactment of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), KFOR moved to its current dial position at 1240 kHz. It was a Class IV station, allowed to broadcast at 250 watts around the clock. The station was a network affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System, carrying its dramas, comedies, news and sports during the "Golden Age of Radio." [6]
The radio ministry Back to the Bible originated on KFOR in 1939. [7] From May 1953 to March 1954, the station's owners operated a television station, KFOR-TV (now dark).
On February 15, 2023, at midnight, KFOR began simulcasting on sister station KLMS 1480 AM which had dropped its long-running sports radio format. KFOR also was heard on FM translator K268DF (101.5 FM), which relayed KLMS. The next day, KFOR's former translator, 103.3 K277CA, began relaying KLMS, which flipped to an adult hits format as "Mix 103.3". [8] KFOR's translator became K268DF at 101.5 FM.
