KGOR started as KFAB-FM in 1959. Broadcasting an automated MOR/contemporary hits format, the station changed call letters to KGOR in 1975 to differentiate it from KFAB. The station phased out most new music in favor of older hits in late 1988. It became Omaha's first FM oldies station (KOIL at 1290 AM was the first all oldies station in 1986) and one of the highest rated stations in the city, achieving a top 5 position that it has maintained since. The format started out playing music from the 1950s-1960s, before moving to 1960s-1970s by the mid 1990s. The station shifted away from the oldies branding in the 2000s due to the perceived negative demographics of the definition. It started calling itself a "classic hits" station, focusing on hits from the 1960s-1980s, with a heavier focus on the 1970s-1980s. The HD2 channel is the "Real Oldies" station, which focuses on the 1950s-1960s.
KGOR is licensed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to broadcast in the HD (hybrid) format.[3]
