KSMR (92.5 FM) is a non-commercial educational radio station broadcasting a Catholic radio format. Licensed to Winona, Minnesota, United States, it serves the Saint Mary's University campus and entire Winona area. It first began broadcasting under the call sign KSMW. The station is currently owned by Real Presence Radio. History The original name of the station was KSMW (signifying Saint Mary's Winona), and was started by Brother J. Raymond Long, FSC (a De La Salle Christian Brother) along with Brother Patrick Callahan and Dr. David O. Thomas. These three men were instrumental in the development of KSMW/KSMR as the campus radio station for Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, then known as Saint Mary's College. At the beginning, KSMW was basically a dead station, which could only be heard in certain areas on campus. Then, after the building of a new studio in Heffron Hall, the first voice on the air from the new studio was Dave Filipczak; it was St. Patrick's Day in 1978. Dave was also the first general manager. KSMW changed its callsign to KSMR (signifying Saint Mary's Radio) and since at least 2001, the callsign KSMW has been used by Missouri State University, as a repeater in West Plains, MO for KSMU-FM (91.1 FM). The longest running show on KSMR has been airing continually since January 2003. Originally titled "The Scott and Jeff Show" it starred business faculty Scott Deml and Jeff Hefel. This show ran for five consecutive years on Thursday afternoons from 3PM-5PM. Well known campuswide for "corny bits" and poor production, the show did some nice charity work raising over $5000 for the local Habitat for Humanity by conducting frequent radio marathons. Joe Dulak replaced Scott Deml at the end of the 2008 broadcasting year. Jeff Hefel and Joe Dulak operated as "The Grumpy Old Man Show" for one year and since have titled their show as "The Black Hole of Radio. " Derek Jackson signed on to act as a third DJ for the 2012-2013 season. Dr. Kyle Black joined the team in 2016. The Blackhole Radio Show is the #1 rated radio show during the 3-5pm hour, on Thursdays, of all licensed radio broadcasts originating from the campus of Saint Mary's. The show is currently in its 16th season with no plans of slowing down. KSMR recent history KSMR was a digital station with a full digital archival of songs as well
