This station's programming is also simulcast on KEMP (99.3 FM) in Payson, Arizona. That station claims to broadcast to the Phoenix radio market, although there is a translator station on 99.3 in Phoenix, blocking KEMP within city limits. KEMP is powered at 17,000 watts and covers a region northeast of Phoenix and southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona.

Until its format switch on June 24, 2013, the station broadcast an adult hits format specializing in seldom heard pop and rock songs.

In 2017, the station tweaked its format from hot AC to adult CHR by having a more current-intensive playlist.

On October 2, 2020, KVGQ flipped to 1990s/2000s hits branded as "106.9 Da Bomb", competing against KXQQ-FM.[2]
