The September 29th, 1927 Albany Ledger reported that KGIZ began that year, when owner Ed Kelso bought equipment for the station and installed it just west of the dance pavilion. The first manager of the station was Grant Bishop. They attributed their story to the Grant City Times. It was posted on Facebook by the Worth County Chronicle.
The station started off small, broadcasting features from Kelso Rainbow Park and advertising its activities and having Friday night dance orchestras. The range of the station was around 50 miles.
The station lasted from 1927 until the end of 1933, when it was sold off to a Springfield radio station and the call letters changed. It had news, sports, weather, and various shows.
