Their studios are downtown Kalispell at 317 1st Ave. E. with sister station KZMN. The transmitter site is in Evergreen, on Steel Bridge Road.

Nonetheless, its signal has been received over most of the western United States at night, as far south as Salt Lake City [4] and as far west as Snohomish, Washington.

George Ostrom was a mainstay at the station from 1956 to 2008; he recently came out of retirement to work at KGEZ.
