History

KMHL officially began broadcasting on November 30, 1946. [8] 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. [9] The call letters were specifically chosen as a contraction of the city of license, MarsHalL. [10] 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. [11] More recently, in April 2025, an application was filed to transfer control of the license from Subarctic Media, LLC to Thomas Linder. [12]
