KXGM (89.1 MHz, "Air 1") is an FM radio station licensed to serve Hiawatha, Iowa, United States. The station is owned by Educational Media Foundation. It airs a Christian worship music format.[2][3]

The station was assigned the KWOF-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on July 17, 2002[4] and changed its call letters to KXGM-FM on August 8, 2008, to reflect the new ownership. The station changed to its current KXGM call sign on March 25, 2015.

Ownership

[edit | edit source]

On March 21, 2002, more than five years after first applying for the frequency in January 1997, Friendship Communications Inc. was awarded a construction permit for 89.1 FM over fellow applicants American Family Association and the University of Northern Iowa.[5] The station began broadcasting as a simulcast of KWOF in July 2002. KWOF-FM applied on July 11, 2002, for a license to cover and a waiver of the "main studio" rule that requires that a broadcaster maintain its main broadcast studio in its city of license.[6] This waiver request was denied and thus the license to cover request was also dismissed.[7] On May 17, 2004, Friendship Communications again applied for a license to cover and this was granted on July 7, 2004.[8]

In March 2008, Extreme Grace Media (Chris Behmlander, president) reached an agreement to purchase KWOF (AM) and KWOF-FM from Friendship Communications (Michael Facciani, president) for a reported sale price of $160,000.[9] The transfer was approved by the FCC on April 23, 2008, and the deal was consummated on July 18, 2008.[10] In June 2011, KXGM's license was transferred to Educational Media Foundation, and it began airing the Air 1 Christian CHR format.[11]
