## History

KXLP has been airing an [album-oriented rock](/source/Album-oriented_rock) format on and off from 1982 to 2007. They flipped to [adult contemporary](/source/Adult_contemporary) in 1986 as "Lite Rock 93 KXLP" amid a large outcry from loyal listeners. A few years later, they flipped back to [rock](/source/Mainstream_rock), shifting toward [classic rock](/source/Classic_rock) in 1995. For many years, they were co-owned with [KYSM-FM](/source/KYSM-FM) and KYSM, first by James Ingstad (as Pro Radio Group), then [Cumulus Broadcasting](/source/Cumulus_Broadcasting), then [Clear Channel Communications](/source/Clear_Channel_Communications).

KXLP previously carried the syndicated [Bob and Tom](/source/Bob_and_Tom) show weekday mornings; it currently airs a local morning show. KXLP is a local affiliate for [Minnesota Vikings](/source/Minnesota_Vikings) and [Minnesota Gophers](/source/Minnesota_Gophers) football.

The station was purchased in August 2007 from Clear Channel by [Linder Radio Group](/source/Linder_Radio_Group), a.k.a. Minnesota Valley Broadcasting Co., which also acquired KYSM (now [KFSP](/source/KFSP)). Other current sister stations include [KTOE](/source/KTOE), [KDOG](/source/KDOG), [KXAC](/source/KXAC) and [KATO-FM](/source/KATO-FM).

At 5:00 PM on September 21, 2007, KXLP's on-air staff and rock format moved from 93.1 FM to new sign-on 94.1 FM, which held the temporary call letters **KXRP** for a week prior. A new format was launched at 93.1 FM.

Effective July 2008, KXLP's signal started simulcasting on new sign-on [KHRS](/source/KRRW_(FM)) (105.9 FM) in the [Winthrop](/source/Winthrop,_Minnesota)/[New Ulm](/source/New_Ulm,_Minnesota) area. The simulcast lasted until April 2020, when it switched to a simulcast of country-formatted [KEMJ](/source/KEMJ) (101.5 FM).[2]
