History

KVOE-FM began broadcasting as KEGS on May 2, 1985. The "GS" in KEGS were the initials of Greg Steckline of Steckline Communications of Wichita (the first licensee). In Emporia, there was a KVOE-FM on 104.9 MHz between 1966 and 1975. But after 1975 those call letters were dropped and became available for transfer. On August 30, 1994, KEGS became the new KVOE-FM at 101.7 MHz under new owner Emporia's Radio Stations, Inc.

Community service

Every year, KVOE puts on a Drive for Food campaign in partnership with The Salvation Army collecting "non-perishable food items" for their food pantry.
