On October 7, 2020, KFOW dropped its classic hits format and began stunting with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" by Rolf Harris, a common stunt on stations owned by Linder switching formats.[1] [2]

On October 12, 2020, KFOW stopped stunting and switched formats to news/talk, and is now affiliated with Fox News Radio.[3] [4]
