KPRM (870 AM) is a radio station in Park Rapids, Minnesota. It has a classic country format, along with the popular "Coffee Talk" morning show.

Ownership

KPRM transmits with 25,000 Watts of power, and is owned and operated by De La Hunt Broadcasting. All their studios, offices, and transmitters are on the east side of Park Rapids, near the intersection of Highways 34 and 4.

In 2006, Ed and Carol De La Hunt were inducted into the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame. [ [http://www.pavekmuseum.org/delahunt.htm Ed & Carol De La Hunt ] ]

Power Upgrade

In late September 2008, KPRM applied to the FCC to increase their transmitter power to 50,000 watts. This would increase their signal across northwest Minnesota and eastern North Dakota.

ister stations

Their Park Rapids properties include KPRM, KDKK (easy listening 97.5), and KXKK (country music 92.5). They also own KAKK (1570) and KQKK (101.9) in Walker, Minnesota, and KVKK (1070) in Verndale, Minnesota.

An announcement was made in early May 2008, that two more stations are being added, targeting the Bemidji, Minnesota area. The construction permits have been issued, and studio building has begun in the old Elks Club, downtown Bemidji. WBKK (820 AM), is licensed to Wilton, and KKWB (102.5 FM) is licensed to Kelliher.
