James Ingstad is a Fargo, North Dakota resident who owns Radio Fargo-Moorhead, Inc., consisting of KFGO, KMJO, KBVB, KRWK, KVOX, and WDAY-FM, which were formerly owned by Clear Channel Communications. Ingstad is also related to former American Top 40 host and KROQ-FM founder Shadoe Stevens (born as Terry Ingstad).
Ingstad owned the Fargo stations from 1996 until 2000 until they were sold to Clear Channel. KDAM signed on in 2002. The stations were sold back to Ingstad on September 28, 2006, and approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 19, 2007. KFAB-FM was donated to Northwestern College, which also owns KFNW AM & FM in Fargo, since the FCC ownership limit for the market is six stations. That allowed WDAY-FM to use KFNW-FM's tower site as a transmitter. Ingstad also owns many stations in Minnesota and Iowa.
Ingstad also purchased KKAG 740, and renamed it KVOX. He then donated KVOX to a Catholic broadcaster, now known as KVXR. KVOX now carries all-sports programming.
