until 2000, KRBI-FM simulcast with its AM sister at 1310 AM. In later years, the FM station aired an adult contemporary format, with a heavy focus on its hometown of St. Peter.

The St. Peter-oriented programming shifted to its AM sister, KRBI 1310 AM.
KRBI-FM switched its moniker to "The Buzzard" in April 2006.

As of 2018, KRBI-FM has flipped back to classic hits, and slightly rebranded as "River 105".
In June 2024, KRBI began airing Westwood One's "Classic Hits" format full-time as a result of staffing cuts initiated across many of Alpha Media's stations nationwide, including in Mankato.
In May 2025, Connoisseur Media announced its intent to acquire Alpha Media. The FCC approved the sale on August 13, 2025, and the sale was consummated on September 4.
