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.

As part of its original format before 24 June 2013, the station broadcast a lot of seldom heard pop and rock songs, especially in the United States.

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

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

Booster station

KVGQ programming is also carried by a booster station to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.
