On January 11, 2012, KNOX began broadcasting on FM translator K300BG 107.9 FM in Grand Forks. 107.9 had been broadcasting KGFK AM 1590, which moved to 95.7 FM as it has a stronger signal in Grand Forks. In May 2021, second FM translator K277DN 103.3 FM in Grand Forks signed on for better rural coverage from the KZLT/KZGF transmitter tower, including coverage of Crookston, while K300BG 107.9 FM continues to cover the immediate Grand Forks–East Grand Forks area. K277DN 103.3 FM also has stronger coverage than K300BG 107.9 FM in some parts of Grand Forks–East Grand Forks due to less adjacent channel interference from full-power KJKJ/107.5 "KJ108" and co-channel interference from Fargo's KPFX "107.9 The Fox". The current local lineup which has been fairly consistent since March 2014 from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm includes "Denny and Gina in the Morning" from 6a – 9a, "The Jarrod Thomas Show" from 9a – Noon, "The Ryan Cunningham Show" from Noon – 3p, and "The Schmidt Show" from 3p – 6p.
