History
In March 1960, the station first signed on as KGMI-FM.[3] It was owned by International Good Music, Inc., serving as the FM counterpart to KGMI (790 AM). The two stations simulcast their programming. It switched to KVGM in 1970.
In 1973, it began airing an automated Top 40 format, changing to its current call sign, KISM.[4]
In 1998, Saga Communications purchased KISM and KGMI for $9.8 million.[5]
