History

The station went on the air in 1984 with a Top 40 (CHR) format as "96.7 K-Dog" competing with KEEZ "Z99". Over the years, the station has tweaked its on-air presentation slightly, going so far as to rebrand itself as "96.7 The Spot" in May 1999,^[1] with a modern AC orientation and the syndicated Bob and Sheri morning show. The station dropped the "Spot" moniker and transitioned to a broader hot adult contemporary format in August 2002, and flipped to adult hits in 2006.^[2] From April 2006 to July 2008, KDOG was simulcasted on sister station KNSG in Springfield, Minnesota,^[3] which serves Redwood Falls and Marshall. On September 4, 2009, KDOG returned to its CHR roots as "Hot 96.7".
