1230 KMRS-AM was begun by a newspaper owner 60 years ago and we have never lost sight of our central mission to provide the news that affects the lives of our listeners. KMRS began broadcasting in September of 1956 and today is on the air from 5:30 a.m. to midnight. We focus on local news, weather, farm and sports. We also keep our audience informed with our national news affiliations with Associated Press, hourly updated with Westwood One Radio News, and the Linder Farm Network. Sports fans can also cheer on the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Timberwolves, and our own Morris Area Tigers.
