Licensed to serve Algona, Iowa, United States, the station is owned by Bernadette Merrill, through licensee A2Z Broadcasting, LLC, and features programming from ABC News Radio. Prior to country music, KLGZ had an adult contemporary format, simulcasting its sister station, KLGA-FM.

KLGA changed its call sign to the current KLGZ on July 15, 2014.

FM translator

KLGZ relays programming to an FM translator in order to widen the coverage area and also to provide listeners with the stereophonic high fidelity sound of FM. KLGZ uses a two tower antenna array which orients the signal to the northwest; the FM translator uses a non-directional pattern.
