The new owner was Guy Christian, who changed the call sign to KAFF and put the station back on air that fall.[2]
An FM sister station, 92.9 KFLG, signed on in 1968. It originally played adult contemporary music during the day, country music at night and classical music for a few hours on Sunday. The two stations swapped call letters on March 1, 1982, with the FM station becoming KAFF and the AM station becoming KFLG. On December 16, 1986, KFLG changed its call sign back to KAFF.[3] KAFF 930 began airing classic country music, while KAFF-FM 92.9 concentrates on current and recent country hits.
On August 1, 2024, KAFF changed their format from classic country to news/talk, branded as "KAFF News Radio".[4]
