Licensed to Colby, Kansas, United States, the station serves the tri-state region of Northwest Kansas, Northeast Colorado and Southwest Nebraska.[3] The original station identification was "Ranch and Farm Radio," but soon changed to "Town and Country Radio." It was not affiliated with any national network. It is now the flagship station for the Kansas Farm and Ranch Radio Network. Nationally known personalities on the original staff were John B. Hughes, Johnny Pearson and Jerry Oppy. The station is currently owned by Kansas Broadcast Company, LLC.[4]

In the late 1980s, KXXX was part of the Kansas-based "LS Network" of radio entrepreneur Larry Steckline.[5]
