KFNW (97.9 FM and 1200 AM) are two Christian radio stations located in Fargo, North Dakota owned and operated by Northwestern College, a Christian college in St. Paul, Minnesota. KFNW-FM concentrates on contemporary Christian music (CCM), while the AM station concentrates on Christian and conservative talk programming, though it also plays CCM music during the overnights.

KFNW is a non-profit radio station, receiving most of its donations and contributions from its listeners and Northwestern College. The FM station is also rebroadcasted on several translators (low-powered rebroadcasters) outside of its main listening area. Both the AM and FM stations are streaming on the Internet.

Though KFNW does not intend to compete with radio stations, its main competition is from K-Love's Fargo affiliate, KKLQ 100.7 FM. The northern part of KFNW's listening area can receive KKEQ "Q107" based in Fosston, Minnesota.
