An AM radio station operating at 1230 kHz, licensed as part of the Ingstad Minnesota Radio Network. The station forms one pillar of a multi-platform local media cluster that includes KTRF-FM 94.1, KKAQ AM 1460, KKDQ FM 99.3, a cable television channel, and a weekday newsletter publication called The Radio Gram. Programming is oriented around local community service. The station reports local news, sports, weather, community information, and obituaries. Personality-driven morning and midday blocks anchor the weekday schedule, anchored by signature shows including The Good Morning Show and a midday team program. Local sports coverage is a significant focus, encompassing high school athletics, regional tournament play, and professional Minnesota teams including the Twins, Vikings, and Timberwolves. The Federal Prospects Hockey League has also held neutral-site games in the coverage area, which the station covers. Beyond local content, the evening lineup draws on nationally syndicated programming, including Fox Sports Radio and Coast to Coast AM. The station's sports schedule page reflects active coverage of a wide range of prep events across the region, including boys and girls basketball, snowmobile racing, and regional conference matchups. This combination of hyperlocal coverage and syndicated fill positions the station as a broad-service community broadcaster for its corner of northwestern Minnesota.
