KLIN was founded in 1946, with the call letters KOLN. It began broadcasting August 11, 1947, as a Mutual affiliate on 1400 kHz with 250 Watts of power. Studios were in the New Federal Securities Building in Lincoln.[3]

The station owners established KOLN-TV in February 1953. Broadcasting pioneer John Fetzer purchased the stations in August 1953.[4] Fetzer broke up his broadcasting empire in 1985, and the two stations went their separate ways, with the television station keeping the original calls.

In August 2007, Triad Broadcasting sold KLIN to NRG Media.[5]

On May 3, 2012, KLIN began simulcasting on FM translator K233AN 94.5 FM.[6] The simulcast lasted until August 26, 2014, when K233AN switched to a simulcast of KBBK's HD2 subchannel. The 94.5 signal is now used to broadcast RED 94.5. KLIN now simulcasts in high definition at KBBK's HD3 subchannel. KLIN was approved in late 2017 for an AM on FM translator on 99.3 FM (K257GN), but the signal is not being broadcast as of late February 2019.

KLIN is the flagship station of Nebraska Cornhuskers football, men's basketball and baseball. In 2014, KLIN became an affiliate for the Denver Broncos Radio Network. KLIN has previously held NFL affiliations with the Detroit Lions and the Washington Redskins.
