In December 2003, Dakota Communications Ltd. (Duane Butt, president) reached an agreement to acquire this station and KZNC from Three Eagles Communications as part of a two-station deal for a reported $400,000.[3] Dakota Communications has operated Huron's other two licensed radio stations, KOKK and KJRV-FM, since 1975.[4]

In August 2013, KIJV dropped its Oldies format in favor for Hot Adult Contemporary. Dakota Communications had previously operated a Hot AC format in the Huron market before moving KXLG to the Watertown, South Dakota market.

Effective December 31, 2022, Dakota Communications sold KIJV, sister stations KJRV and KOKK, and translator K237EL to Riverfront Broadcasting for $255,000.
