KMON (560 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Great Falls, Montana, United States, the station serves the Great Falls area. The station is currently owned by CCR-Great Falls IV, LLC and features programming from ABC Radio.

History

Prior to 1948, the then-unbuilt station had the call letters KMFR and was licensed to Sun River Broadcasting Company. After the station was licensed to Montana Farmer Broadcasting Corporation, that company requested a change in call letters to KMON. The request was approved by the Federal Communications Commission in February 1948.[1]
