01History

KRWC is a heritage "full-service" station licensed to Buffalo, Minnesota. It officially signed on the air on November 11, 1971. The station was founded by Wayne George, who sought to provide a localized alternative to the large Minneapolis-St. Paul signals by focusing exclusively on Wright County news and events. For many years, the station operated as a daytime-only service, signing off at sunset to protect other signals on the 1360 kHz frequency. It transitioned to 24-hour broadcasting on January 1, 2000.

Since KMOM 1070 AM in Monticello, Minnesota went off the air, KRWC is the only radio station in Wright County, Minnesota.
