KYMN (1080 AM and FM 95.1) is a radio station broadcasting a news/talk/adult alternative format. Licensed to Northfield, Minnesota, United States, the station serves the southern portion of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The station is currently owned by Northfield Media, Inc., owned by Jeff Johnson, long time morning show host of KYMN, and features programming from Learfield and Westwood One.[1]
KYMN has served the Northfield community at 1080 AM since 1968. Founder Stan Stydnicki launched a station to provide an eclectic mix of programs, including community news, sports and music.
In March, 1983, KYMN became the first station in Minnesota and first daytimer in the world to adopt AM stereo.[2] Beginning with the Harris System and later switching to the C-QUAM system.[3] KYMN has since discontinued broadcasting in AM stereo.
Today, KYMN continues that tradition with programming that continues to combine community voices, news, and sports with lively and wide-ranging musical programming. A new FM signal, 95.1 The One, launched in 2016, sending the station's signal to the surrounding communities of Cannon Falls, Nerstrand, Faribault and Lonsdale.
Morning Show with Jeff Johnson features local news, News with a Side of Sports with Tim McNiff and Jeff Johnson, State News by MNN and Westwood One provides National News with local weather by Bob Matheson. Expect local interviews from news makers, local city officials and a variety of others.
Music is selected in-house and is an adult eclectic mix with over 3,000 songs in the playlist. "All Wheel Drive" is hosted by Jessica Paxton, Board member of the Minnesota Music Coalition.
KYMN carries a variety of specialty programming all hosted by local talent.
