This station transmitted with callsign KRCB-FM until Northern California Public Media acquired the 104.9 FM frequency licensed to Rohnert Park, then commercial station KDHT, in 2021; the transaction was spurred when the Kincade Fire destroyed the tower used for the 91.1 facility.[5] The move to 104.9 gave Northern California Public Media a full-powered signal in the Santa Rosa area, and the KRCB-FM callsign was given to the bigger signal. Consequently, the KRCG-FM callsign was allocated to 91.1.

In addition to the main station, KRCG-FM is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.[6]
