KFXN is a radio station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving the Twin Cities area. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.

KFXN, also known as "Score 690", is sister station to sports-formatted KFAN. They air a complementary sports talk format, which today consists mostly of syndicated shows from FOX Sports and ESPN, as well as Jim Rome's nationally syndicated program.

KFXN is essentially a daytime-only station, broadcasting at 500 watts, though they do have a four watt signal during nighttime hours with very limited reach.

History

The station has a long history as sister station to various incarnations of 97.1 FM. For many years, the call letters were KTCR, with a country music format complementary to its sister station (then KTCR-FM). In 1984, they flipped to a jazz format as KTCJ to complement the new 'Cities 97'. The jazz format as KTCJ lasted several years, but eventually ceded to a mere simulcast with its FM sister. On April 17, 1997, KTCJ, the sole remaining AM/FM simulcast in the market, switched to classic country music, becoming KXBR the following January.

In December 1998, KXBR dumped country and became a counterpart to KFAN, airing repeats of KFAN's local shows as well as various syndicated fare as KFXN.
