As a Linder-owned station, KMHL is a primary outlet for the Linder Farm Network, providing critical market data and weather reports to the southwest Minnesota agricultural community.[3] The station is an official broadcast partner of the Treasure Island Baseball Network, carrying all Minnesota Twins regular season games for the Marshall market.[4] Additionally, it serves as a regional affiliate for the Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA).[5] KMHL is a member of the Minnesota News Network sports feed, providing comprehensive coverage of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football and basketball programs.[6] Overnight programming is supplemented by Fox Sports Radio, providing national sports talk during late-night hours.[7]

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]
