The station, founded by Gregory LaPorta, was established in 2010, was owned by Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. and affiliated with Feature Story News (FSN), T-Mobile, the Las Vegas Tribune, Syndication Networks and Public News Service (PNS). Portsonic Communications, LLC was a local community radio investor and management company for Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. KVGK-LP was governed under the Local Community Radio Act of 2010 as a public radio station to the Las Vegas, Nevada valley. The FCC licensed Portsonic Communications, LLC, a commercial company for KVGK-LP 97.9 FM from May 12, 2023 to November 12, 2023 to work on a split of the nation's Low Power FM service through a research and development pilot project running under a Temporary Application for Provisionial Commercial Use at FCC Facility ID: 190166 in North Las Vegas, Nevada where Las Vegas Public Radio had been broadcasting from with the original KIOF-LP 97.9 FM. Because the FCC licensed a commercial company for Low Power FM operations during a short period of time, KVGK-LP 97.9 FM never came to air and was used to trace fatal flaws in the FCC's Licensing and Management System (LMS) during the final report issued by the FCC on May 14, 2024 in FCC DA 24-252. This single report heavily documents why the LPFM Commercial Service never came about over the past 25+ years due to regulatory/statutory blockage.
