History
The station signed on air in 2015, part of the FCC's roll out of LPFM licenses. The sign on of the station was mostly testing the signal, with a variety of programming. The expected coverage radius was 3.5 miles (6 km), but the station could likely be heard much farther, up to 10 miles (16 km) away. The goal of the station was to cater to the ethnic populations on St. Paul's east side, including broadcasts in different languages. St. Paul's Dayton's Bluff neighborhood is known for its diversity.[3]
The goal of the station was to create a voice for St. Paul's east side.[4]
The station now primarily carries hip hop music, branding itself as Power 104.7. The station's website provides news catered to the St. Paul area. The station is one of three low power FM stations in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area that share resources.[5]
