History

The station originally went on air with call letters KMFG and was originally branded as "The Classic Rock Station." Previously, KRFG was owned by Midwest Communications. In 2016, the station was sold to Refuge Media Group, the call letters changed to KRFG, and the station was rebranded as "Refuge Radio", with a Christian AC format.
On July 2, 2019, Refuge Media Group filed to donate the entire network of 3 main stations and 13 Refuge owned translators to the University of Northwestern – St. Paul, which operates a Christian Talk/Teaching/Instruction "Faith" network, and a Contemporary Christian "Life" network. Refuge operated translators owned by a third party such as "Minn-Iowa Christian Broadcasting" were not included in the transaction.
