On June 16, 2013, the then-KAOL changed their format from classic country to Contemporary Hit Radio (as "The Grenade"). Classic country moved to sister station KRLI 103.9 FM (Malta Bend, Missouri), which had started with a nostalgia/variety format and later switched to Contemporary Hit Radio.
KAOL had previously run a sports format until May 2011.[2]
