KFGO Radio broadcasts a news/talk format serving the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan and surrounding areas in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. KFGO is a leader in raising awareness about traffic safety through its live broadcasts, local PSAs, timely and accurate traffic news, and powerful storytelling.
Weaving personal tragedies into compelling narratives, KFGO fosters a sense of shared responsibility among listeners. Among its approaches to traffic safety are live broadcasts featuring “Trooper Talk” segments and informative “Ask a Trooper” articles shared weekly with followers on social media and its news website.
