KSGN (89.7 FM) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Riverside, California, United States, and serving the Riverside-San Bernardino area of the Inland Empire. Owned by Good News Radio, a religious nonprofit organization, the station airs a Christian adult contemporary format, with studios and offices on Orange Tree Lane in Redlands. KSGN's transmitter is sited on Cloudland Truck Trail in San Bernardino. It is also heard on two FM translators in Banning and Palm Springs.

History

The station signed on the air in January 1958[2] as KNFP. It was launched by three professors at La Sierra College (now La Sierra University) and Loma Linda University in Riverside, CA. The station has changed its call letters several times over the years. Other call signs included KSDA, KLLU and finally KSGN.

It has always been a Christian radio station. Its business office and studios were located on the campus of Loma Linda University from 1958 to 2005. In mid-2005, KSGN relocated its business office and studios to Redlands, CA.

In addition to the main station, KSGN is relayed by an additional two translators to widen its broadcast area.
