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]
