The station was assigned the KOLG call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 20, 1991.[1]
The station's original tower was toppled by Super Typhoon Pongsona in 2002; sailors from the USS Frank Cable helped to remove it.[2] In 2019, the archdiocese warned that KOLG needed $50,000 to $100,000 in additional operating funds or it would close.[3]
Notes
- The license is held by the archbishop as a corporation sole.

gollark: It isn't that much unless the nuclear reactor is just bad.
gollark: People will wake up very early.
gollark: So *everyone* gets exactly 2 spells a day shared?
gollark: From what? They have no context except a bunch of code they also can't read.
