KGGO is a classic rock radio station based in Des Moines, Iowa. It is located at 94.9 on the FM band. The station's studios are in Urbandale, Iowa, with Citadel Broadcasting's other Des Moines stations: KJJY, KHKI, KWQW, and KBGG. (Before 2001, KGGO's studios were located in Berwick, a small town north of Des Moines.)
The first radio station to occupy the 94.9 FM frequency in Des Moines was KNDR (New Directions Radio), which signed on in 1961 but left the air a year later due to financial problems. On May 31, 1964, KFMG debuted on that frequency with a "fine arts" format. In 1970 KFMG became a free-form station that played a wide variety of music, including alternative rock. KFMG became KGGO in 1975, and KGGO played Top 40 music for its first few years as "Go-95" before shifting to an album-oriented rock format on July 19, 1978. In the spring of 1984, KGGO became the first FM station in the Des Moines area to finish in first place in the local Arbitron ratings. KGGO remained the Des Moines area's highest-rated radio station throughout most of the late 1980s and 1990s.
KGGO's rock music format was simulcast on 1460 AM from 1989 to 1994 after the former KSO radio ended its country music format. The AM frequency adopted the KGGO call letters during that time period. The simulcast ended in 1994, when 1460's call letters became KDMI. By the end of the 1990s, KGGO had transitioned into a classic rock station.
KGGO's ownership has changed several times in recent years. AMFM, Inc., owned KGGO in the late 1990s. In 2000, AMFM merged with Clear Channel Communications, but since Clear Channel already owned several stations in the Des Moines market, KGGO and sister station KHKI were sold to Barnstable Broadcasting. (Clear Channel kept KDMI, which later became KXNO.) In May 2001, Barnstable sold its Des Moines cluster of stations to Wilks Broadcasting; two years later, Wilks sold the stations to Citadel Broadcasting.
On September 22, 2005, Citadel Broadcasting purchased the naming rights to the former Buccaneer Arena in Urbandale. The home of the Des Moines Buccaneers was then renamed 95KGGO Arena.. In 2008, the name reverted back to Buccaneer Arena.
