History

Its former "KQ101.5" classic rock format had originated at then-sister station KQDS-FM in Duluth. On September 1, 2011 the station began carrying the "SAM FM" variety hits format. It was KFGI's fourth format change in a decade, going from country music to oldies in 2002, and then back to country in 2004 after an ownership change, and then to classic rock in 2007. Following the shutdown of Sam FM, 101.5 shifted to Jack FM during Labor Day weekend of 2015.

On September 16, 2016 Red Rock Radio announced that it would sell KFGI to R & J Broadcasting as part of an eight station deal;[2] the sale was completed on December 21, 2016.[3] Following the sale, KFGI became a local station, keeping the variety hits format, but rebranding as "Skeeter 101.5".
