In the time between KFAC-FM's switch on Septemand KKGO's switch the following January 1, KKGO offered classical programming for part of the day, with former KFAC host John Santana hired as a part-time announcer. Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters chairman Saul Levine made an initial bid for KFAC's music library, one which dated back to the 1940s, but withdrew his bid when presented with an asking price upwards of $1 million a combination of KUSC, the Los Angeles Public Library, and Stanford University acquired it instead. A traditional jazz music format was aired until 1989.Īfter Evergreen Media's record-setting purchase of KFAC-FM (92.3 FM) on January 15, 1989, followed by rumors and publicity stunts suggesting that station would abandon its long-running fine arts/ classical music format (one which had its roots in KFAC (1330 AM), itself divested prior to Evergreen's purchase of the FM), KKGO announced that it would flip to classical effective January 1, 1990, with the jazz format being transferred to 540 AM. In 1988 the call sign was modified to KKGO-FM. This was prompted by a court challenge from KABC, according to one local podcaster.

In 1979, the station changed its call sign to KKGO. Saul Levine launched the station at 105.1 FM in February 1959 as KBCA, one of the first FM stations to broadcast from Mount Wilson. KKGO is notable in being the lone remaining full-power commercial FM signal licensed to Los Angeles, and one of a very few remaining nationwide, that is still independently owned and operated. Besides a standard analog transmission, KKGO broadcasts over four HD Radio channels and is available online. The KKGO studios are located in Los Angeles' Westwood neighborhood, while the station transmitter resides on Mount Wilson. The station is owned by Mount Wilson FM Broadcasters and airs a country music format.

KKGO (105.1 FM, 'Go Country 105') is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Los Angeles, California, United States and serves the Greater Los Angeles area.
