Ingstad and plans were made to launch a 100,000 watt FM counterpart. KGIM-FM 103.7 was launched June 12, 1997 with a country music format and branded Pheasant Country 103. For a time in the late 90's early 2000s, KGIM-FM simulcasted with KBWS 102.9 FM in Sisseton, South Dakota (excluding 6AM-10AM) creating a Pheasant Country 103 brand that could be heard across northeast South Dakota, southeast North Dakota & west central Minnesota. This simulcast was ended in the fall of 2004 due to a reorganization by the Ingstad family. In the fall of 2004, as part of a reorganization by the Ingstad family, Aberdeen Radio Ranch Inc.
