KHQG (102.5 FM, "102.5 The Hog") is a mainstream rock formatted radio station located in Duluth, MN owned by Midwest Communications.

History

The station was Top 40/CHR as KZIO (call sign now used by 104.3/94.1) until November 1996 when it switched to modern/alternative rock as "102.5 The Bear" with the KRBR-FM call sign. The Bear transitioned to active rock 1998, and broadened its playlist by 2002. By 2006, "The Bear" moniker was dropped as station branded as "102.5 KRBR", and added a significant amount of classic rock to its playlist to become a mainstream rock station. On March 3, 2008, KRBR changed its call sign to KHQG, and began branding itself as "102.5 The Hog" while remaining with a mainstream rock format.

KHQG is owned by Midwest Communications. Its primary competitors are Red Rock Radio's active rock 94X (94.1 FM/104.3 FM - KZIO) and classic rock 95 KQDS.
