History

In January 2004, R.P. Broadcasting, Inc., applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit with amendments on April 27, 2007, with a scheduled expiration date of October 20, 2011. [1] [2]

In December 2009, permit holder R.P. Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to transfer the permit to Paskvan Media, Inc., for a total price of $30,000. The FCC approved the move on March 30, 2010, and the transaction was formally consummated on April 20, 2010. [3] The new station was assigned call sign "KPMI" on August 26, 2011. [4] [5] After construction and testing were completed, the station was granted its broadcast license on March 1, 2012. [6]

In February 2019, KPMI signed on local translator W232DS (94.3) from the combined transmitter/tower site north of Bemidji. On March 7, 2019, KPMI-FM was launched serving the Baudette, MN area. It also simulcasted KPMI (AM) from a 203' tower site west of Baudette, off Highway 192. KPMI-FM, originally permitted for 100 kW, but downgraded to 3 kW shortly before sign-on. The station could be upgraded to 100 kW in the future, if no other stations are close. Now KPMI FM is a Classic Rock station.
