History

The station was built by pioneer Utah broadcaster Arch Webb in April of 1948 with call sign KVOG - the "Voice of Ogden" and subsequently changed to KJQN on December 1, 1978, and again on June 28, 1993 to KJOE. The radio station was acquired by the Bible Broadcasting Network from US Bankruptcy Court in Salt Lake City, UT in 2004.
The station went to non-commercial status and the call sign changed on May 16, 1994 to KYFO. KYFO aired primarily religious programming. The station was then sold to AM Radio 1490, Inc in 2005, and changed to the call sign KOGN on May 1, 2006.

On May 29th 2009, The US Bankruptcy Court in Salt Lake City, UT appointed a receiver to take over KOGN AM. US Capital, Incorporated of Boulder CO. foreclosed on Legecy Media, the owners of KOGN and several other stations.
KOGN returned in 2010 with a regional Mexican format.
