01History

KMHL officially began broadcasting on November 30, 1946. The station was founded by Harry J. Linder, a pioneer in Minnesota broadcasting who established several regional stations following World War II to serve rural communities. The call letters were specifically chosen as a contraction of the city of license, Marshall. The station has remained under the influence of the Linder family for nearly its entire existence. In 2013, ownership was transferred from Don Linder to John Linder. More recently, in April 2025, an application was filed to transfer control of the license from Subarctic Media, LLC to Thomas Linder.
