KRWC (1360 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Buffalo, Minnesota, United States. The station is owned by Donnell, Inc.

History

KRWC is a heritage "full-service" station licensed to Buffalo, Minnesota. It officially signed on the air on November 11, 1971. ^[2] . 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. ^[3]

The station is owned by Donovan Media, Inc., led by Joe Donovan, who acquired the station in the late 1990s. ^[4] Since KMOM 1070 AM in Monticello, Minnesota went off the air, KRWC is the only radio station in Wright County, Minnesota. ^[5]

Programming

KRWC broadcasts a full-service format to Wright County and the greater St. Cloud, Minnesota, area. ^[6] The station broadcasts oldies music, as well as local news, weather, and sports.
