History

Christian Radio and Contemporary Hits

The station signed on the air on January 23, 1965;59 years ago. It aired a Christian radio format as KBBL ("K-Bible"). The original chief engineer, who signed KGGI on the air, was Lee McGowan. Upon its sale from C. Edwin Goad to Lyncoln and Sylvia Dellar in 1979, KBBL became KGGI. The original airstaff for KGGI included program director Brian White, along with Bob West, Lisa Giles, Dan Harrison, Cliff Roberts, and Benny Martinez, while Jerry Clifton was the consultant. When the acquisition closed, KGGI flipped to Top 40 (CHR).

In 1998, the station was sold to Chase Radio Properties. It was sold again in 2000 to AMFM, Inc. [5] AMFM was an affiliate of Clear Channel Outdoor, which in turn spun off its communications and radio divisions into Clear Channel Communications. In 2014, Clear Channel Communications was renamed iHeartMedia. Over time, the station moved from Mainstream Top 40 to a Rhythmic Contemporary format.
