KRRW (105.9FM; "North Star Country 105.9") is a radio station broadcasting aclassic country format inNew Ulm, Minnesota (licensed toWinthrop). The station serves theNew Ulm area, as well as theMankato metropolitan area with a fringe signal. KRRW is owned byLinder Radio Group.
KRRW signed on the air in 2008 as KHRS, simulcasting Mankato sister stationKXLP (94.1 FM). KHRS brought KXLP's programming back to the New Ulm area, which the 94.1 signal did not reach; until 2007, the format and call sign was used on 93.1 FM in New Ulm (nowKATO-FM). The KXLP simulcast ended in April 2020, when KHRS began to simulcast classic country withKEMJ (101.5 FM); the station took on 101.5's former KRRW call sign and branded as "North Star Country 105.9".[2] KEMJ broke away from the simulcast in May 2020 and beganstunting, ultimately changing to ahot adult contemporary format on May 18; the classic country format remained on 105.9.[3]
