History
Former KFOR logo used when it was simulcasting on K277CA (103.3 FM)

KFOR was originally located in David City, Nebraska, where it first went on the air in March 1924 as the fourth radio station in Nebraska.[3] New owners moved the station to Lincoln in 1927. From May 1953 to March 1954, the station's owners operated a television station, KFOR-TV.

The radio ministry Back to the Bible originated on KFOR in 1939.[4]

On February 15, 2023, at midnight, KFOR began simulcasting on sister station KLMS (which dropped its long-running sports talk format), and began simulcasting on K268DF (101.5 FM), which relayed KLMS. The next day, KFOR's former translator, K277CA, began relaying KLMS, who flipped to an adult hits format as "Mix 103.3".[5]
