KMXK (94.9FM) is acommercialradio station inSt. Cloud, Minnesota airing ahot adult contemporary format. The station is owned byTownsquare Media. The station's studios, along with Townsquare's other St. Cloud stations, are located at 640 Lincoln Avenue SE, on St. Cloud's east side. The station’s transmitter is located south of Cold Spring, which provides a 50,000-watt signal covering much of Central Minnesota.[2][3]
KMXK-FM originally began broadcasting in 1968 under the call sign KLFD-FM, licensed toLitchfield, Minnesota.[4] The station was founded by the Litchfield Broadcasting Corporation and initially served as an FM counterpart toKLFD-AM.[5]
A pivotal change occurred in the late 1980s when the station sought to expand its reach into the larger St. Cloud market. In December 1990, Litchfield Broadcasting Corp. filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to change the station's community of license.[6] Effective August 12, 1991, the community of license was officially moved from Litchfield to Cold Spring, Minnesota, allowing the station to better serve the St. Cloud metropolitan area while operating as a Class C2 facility.[7]
During the mid-1990s, the station was acquired by local broadcasting pioneer Andy Hilger.[8] Hilger integrated KMXK into a cluster of stations that included WJON-AM and WWJO-FM. In 1999, Hilger sold KMXK, along with WJON and WWJO, to Regent Communications (now Townsquare Media) for approximately $5 million in cash.[9]
