KZGO

History

KZGO was founded as KNOF by the Rev. Fred and the Rev. Grace Adam, signing on the air on April 10, 1960, to broadcast Christian programming to the greater Twin Cities media market of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Their company was named the Selby Gospel Broadcasting Corporation because the offices and studios were on Selby Avenue in St. Paul. The station's transmitter carried only 3000 watts on a 249 foot tower, while many local FM stations were powered at 100,000 watts on towers five times that height.

In August 2007, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the transfer of control of Selby Gospel Broadcasting to North Central University, as a gift to the college at the request of Rev. Grace Adam, an alumna of the University.

The station operated from new state of the art studios on the campus of North Central University and transmitted a 6,000 watt signal from a 249 foot tower in St. Paul, its city of license.
