KFXN (690 AM; "Hmong Radio AM 690") is a radio station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, serving the Twin Cities area. The station is owned by Kongsue Xiong, through licensee Asian American Broadcasting, LLC. On July 21, 2010, former owner Clear Channel Communications announced it would donate the station through the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council (MMTC)-Clear Channel Ownership Diversity Initiative. In September 2011, the station switched to an ethnic-based format catering to the local Hmong-American community. KFXN is essentially a daytime-only station, broadcasting at 500 watts, though it does have a four watt signal during nighttime hours with very limited reach. This is likely to protect CKGM in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The transmitter and three-tower antenna array are located in New Hope on Winnetka Avenue north of 36th Avenue. This has been the only transmitter location for the station since it signed on the air on April 5, 1962. In August 2009, KTTB (96.3 FM) relocated its transmission facilities from Watertown to the KFXN site. (en) |
