KGHS-AM signed on the air during the summer of 1959. At that time, the studios were on the corner of 4th Avenue and 3rd Street in downtown International Falls. The transmitter/tower was and still is on 15th Street East. KGHS was at 100 watts in the beginning and at 1230 on the dial. The music format at that time was a mixture of just about any and everything from country, instrumentals, big bands, etc. The news was being done locally with assistance from United Press International. It was approximately five years later that KGHS increased its daytime power to 500 watts and the studios were moved to the transmitter site. UPI was replaced with Associated Press in 1965. KSDM-FM signed on the air in 1979 with a power of 3000 watts at 94.3 on the dial. The station was completely automated with a country music format. Both stations were purchased in 1983 by Communications International Associations Inc. Almost immediately plans were formed for a change in format for KGHS in personnel, music, news, etc. A plan to move the stations back to a downtown location was formed and finally carried through in the summer of 1984. The music format was changed to adult contemporary and several new announcers were hired. The total staff went from just 8 people to 13. KSDM-FM changed from complete automation to partial automation with "live assist." The music format went from completely country to a country-cross format. The format was then changed to super country in the fall of 1986. In August 1986, both stations went 24-hours with a simulcast format. In the Summer of 1988 we increased our FM power to 8500 watts, changed our frequency to 104.1 and increased our tower height from 155 feet to 200 feet. We were and still are continually striving to update our programs and formats to better service our listening audience. In September, 2006, KSDM/KGHS was purchased by Red Rock Broadcasting Group. ------ Shows: Car Care Quiz, KSDM Birthdays and Anniversaries, KSDM Live, School Matters, What?s Cooking in Borderland, What?s Up

things that made it unique and important - immediacy and relevancy. All over the country radio stations have turned into jukeboxes and repeaters of satellite radio stations from thousands of miles away. They have lost touch with community, and lost their personality. More and more stations across the country are owned by huge organizations with hundreds of stations. The search for ways to increase the bottom line of these stations has led to less interaction and involvement with listeners and more automation. Edge 91.9 redefines local radio We "super-serve" our audience by being completely involved in their world. If it's happening, and it interests our listener we will be there broadcasting live. We're on the lake, in School, on the street, in the mall, at the shack, in the bleachers, and on the ice. We talk to whoever knows what is going on, while it's happening. If nothing is happening - we make something happen. We're making radio fun again. Edge 91.9 is interactive The technology is available for our listeners to provide feedback instantly - and from anywhere. We will use that technology as never before in radio. E-Mail, Internet Chat, Fax, Cell Phone - From the start these have been integrated into the programming of this station. Our listeners are able to provide tips and coverage for other listeners. We will be this area's youth culture's bulletin board, and public address system. Edge 91.9 is for High school and college listeners. Our music style and information is specifically for students and others under 25 years old. There is enough music and information for old people in this market. We program current alternative and modern Christian rock. This is an aggressive, progressive music format, but our message remains positive. So much of the media around us focuses on violence and negative images. We will stress the good in life. The overall effect of our programming will be to encourage "affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity, a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion, commitment and focus." (Galatians 5:22)
