History
[edit]KITN launched on November 21, 1994,[2] and carried a country music format until 2002, when it flipped to classic hits as "93.5 The Eagle". Three Eagles Communications, which had recently purchased KITN, KWOA and KWOA-FM (now KUSQ), also owned Luverne based KLQL "K101", which also carried a country format. In 2007, the classic rock format of "The Eagle" was moved to 95.1 FM, and the adult contemporary format moved was moved 93.5 FM as "93.5 The Breeze". In 2012, Absolute Communications, which already owned 104.3 FM, purchased Three Eagles' Worthington stations. The country format on 104.3 FM was moved to 95.1 FM along with the KUSQ call letters. 93.5 FM flipped to a mainstream rock format as "Rock-It 93.5" and 104.3 FM flipped to a Top 40 (CHR) format as "104.3 The Party". KITN would drop mainstream rock for a classic hits format, branded as "Rewind FM," on January 1, 2023.[3][4]
