Programming

KUMM broadcasts a college radio/alternative rock music format to the campus and the greater Stevens County, Minnesota, area. [3] [4] The station is a member of Minnesota's Independent Public Radio network. [5] The station also broadcasts programming produced by University of Minnesota Morris students. [6]

History

KUMM began licensed broadcast operations on September 17, 1972, with 10 watts of effective radiated power (ERP) from an antenna 21.3 meters (70 ft) in height above average terrain. [1] The station was assigned the call sign "KUMM" by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). [7]

In May 1981, KUMM was granted a construction permit to increase power to 223 watts and lower its antenna to 17.3 meters (57 ft). [8] The station began licensed operation at the new parameters on December 15, 1983. [9]

In September 2002, KUMM applied for a new construction permit to further expand the station's coverage area. The application sought to raise the antenna to 38 meters (125 ft) and increase the ERP to 3,000 watts. [10] A 2009 amendment to that application reduced the requested power to 700 watts. [11] KUMM began licensed operation at these new parameters on October 15, 2009. [12]
