KYFG 88.9 FM is an Omaha, Nebraska area radio station featuring Bible based programming from the Bible Broadcasting Network.

The station signed on as KNOS in 1997, and initially targeted Omaha's African American community with a wide-ranging urban format that included gospel music, jazz, R&B and hip-hop music, as well as talk programming. The station was sold to a Catholic group in early 1999, and flipped to religious programming.[1]

In 2009, the then-KVSS purchased KBZR (102.7 FM) from Chapin Enterprises of Lincoln for $4.5 million. On June 1, 2009, KVSS moved the signal from Lincoln to Gretna, renting space on a tower owned by TV station KPTM. (Jim Carroll, executive director of KVSS)[2]

On August 24, 2009, KYFG began broadcasting programming from the Bible Broadcasting Network.
