History

The station was built by pioneer Utah broadcaster Arch Webb in 1947 with call sign KVOG - the "Voice of Ogden" and subsequently changed to KJQN on 1978-12-01 and changed on 1993-06-28 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 1994-05-16 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 2006-05-01.

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. At this time the station remains silent pending liquidation of the company.
