History

KVOX-FM went on the air in 1978, branding themselves as "Stereo Country K100". This would remain as their branding until April 1st, 1994 when they switched to the "Froggy" Moniker which is still used to this day. It was at this point the station "frogified" everything as they do today. For example, the studio is called the "Frogpond", the phone line is called the "Frogline", their forecast called the "Frogcast", and until Fall 2009, "frogified" on-air names (such as Pete Moss, Hoppy Gilmore and Jeremiah Bullfrog). They have since moved towards regular on-air names.

In May 1999, Triad Broadcasting reached a deal to acquire this station from Brothers Jim and Tom Instad as part of a twelve-station deal valued at a reported $37.8 million.^[1] Triad Broadcasting also owns KQWB 1660 AM (Sports), KQWB-FM 98.7 (Active rock), KLTA 105.1 (Hot AC), and KPFX 107.9 (Classic rock) in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

In 2009, Froggy rebranded as "Number One For New Country, Today's Froggy 99.9."
