History
KGHD began operations in 2002 as K67HK (channel 67) in St. George, Utah. It was built by the Trinity Broadcasting Network and broadcast TBN programs with 1.3 kW ERP.

In early 2010, K67HK was bought by Obidia Porras of Victorville, California; Porras operated KUHD-LP and other "franken-FMs" that use VHF analog channel 6. Needing to vacate the 700 MHz band, K67HK moved to channel 6. Porras then moved the channel from a transmitter site near Interstate 15 and Brigham Road to West Mountain Peak, and in 2010, K67HK became KGHD-LP. KGHD embarked on a piecemeal relocation down I-15 to Las Vegas, starting with a September 2010 move to a facility near Overton, Nevada. Not long after, KGHD went off the air due to a malfunctioning generator. The generator had provided the only source of electrical service to the transmitter, leaving few solutions for the problem aside from finding a new home. KGHD filed once more to move in 2011 to a site at Apex, on I-15 northeast of Las Vegas, but its final move came in 2013, to Black Mountain—the main television and radio transmitter site in Las Vegas—as the Apex site's air conditioner had ceased to function properly and jeopardized the transmitter equipment.

Once it was resituated, KGHD's first radio programming was a grupera format known as "La Primera"; during this time, Humberto Luna hosted the station's morning show, and the station (which, as a TV station, was required to broadcast video) aired a 30-minute video loop. After a period of silence which began in summer of 2015, KGHD returned in May 2016 as "La Raza" with a similar format. In 2020, the station changed names and operators, becoming "Fiesta 87.7 FM" (or "Fiesta Las Vegas") after it was acquired by Latino Hustle Group LLC.

As a result of the end of analog broadcasting for low-power stations on July 13, 2021, "Fiesta Las Vegas" operators purchased K251BS (98.1 FM), a translator that could be fed by the HD Radio subchannel of another station (KLUC-FM) to air its programming. Following this, the channel subsequently rebranded as "Fiesta 98.1" and moved its operations to the new frequency.

In February 2022, KGHD station owner Porras filed to convert the station to operations in the dual ATSC 3.0/FM mode in order to resume radio service, and on September 29, 2022, the station relaunched as "Area 87.7" under the call sign KGHD-LD, featuring a mix of dance, hip-hop and alternative. By November 18, the station switched to dance full time and rebranded as "Acid 87.7". On July 20, 2023, an FCC "Report and Order" included this station as one of 13 "FM6" stations allowed to continue to operate an FM radio broadcast, as a "ancillary or supplementary" service.

On October 6, 2023, at 5 p.m., the format, management, and staff of KGHD was transferred to the trimulcast of KRXV/KHYZ/KHWY as "Vibe 99.7"; the stations would simulcast for a week, and KGHD launched a differently-branded version of the dance music format as "Club 87.7" on October 13. That new brand lists longtime Las Vegas nightlife promoter/club manager Frankie Anobile as program director and music producer/DJ Chris Cox as music director.
