History KSTP-FM The 102.1 FM frequency was originally home to KSTP-FM, which launched in 1947. The station was the FM counterpart of Hubbard Broadcasting's AM 1500 KSTP. However, few people owned FM radios in those days, and management was doubtful the station could become profitable. Hubbard shut down the original KSTP-FM in 1952, and the license was cancelled. The current KSTP-FM was re-established in 1965 on its present-day 94.5 MHz frequency. WMIN-FM The owners of WMIN (1400 AM) relaunched the station on October 1, 1967. It originally had the WMIN-FM call sign and it simulcast the AM station. It became KEEY ("Key") in 1968, ending the simulcast. The FM station programmed Drake-Chenault's automated "Hit Parade '68", an adult contemporary format with no disc jockeys. Drake's promotional materials indicated it was targeted to the 18-49 age group, for "those people who may not like Top 40 as a steady diet, and those who are not particularly fond of some of the outdated MOR stations". K102 In 1971, KEEY-FM switched to beautiful music, along with its AM sister station of the same name. The FM station was later co-owned with another AM station, WDGY. KEEY-FM played quarter hour sweeps of mostly instrumental cover versions of popular songs, along with some Broadway and Hollywood show tunes. KEEY-FM and WDGY switched to the current country music format in late 1982 as "K102." KEEY-FM quickly became a dominant force in the market. In 2000, the station was acquired by AMFM, Inc., a forerunner of today's iHeartMedia, Inc. Awards K102 was named "Major Market Station of the Year" by the Country Music Association in 2005 while being programmed by Gregg Swedberg. In 2010, K102
