History
KYMN has served the Northfield community at 1080 AM since 1968. Founder Stan Stydnicki launched the 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.[5] Beginning with the Harris System and later switching to the C-QUAM system.[6] KYMN has since discontinued broadcasting in AM stereo.
A new FM signal, K236CD, launched in 2016, sending the station's signal to the surrounding communities of Cannon Falls, Nerstrand, Faribault and Lonsdale.
KYMN has won the best of radio station in Southern Minnesota award, 5 times. Several hosts at KYMN have also won the best radio host in Southern Minnesota. Both awards are given by the Southern Minnesota Scene Magazine.[7]
The station will be sold in the fall of 2024 to its current news director Rich Larson, as owner Jeff Johnson is retiring.[8]
