History

edit

On March 11, 2004, the station received a construction permit to begin work from the Federal Communications Commission. It had the call sign KXWA and was owned by the WAY-FM Media Group.[2] Way-FM is a chain of Contemporary Christian music stations. The station signed on the following year.

In December 2010, the station was transferred to Calvary Church with Ed Taylor (formerly "Calvary Chapel Aurora") to start a different religious radio network. The call letters changed to KXGR.
