5395-526: The second FM talk station in the area after women-oriented WFMP . The station obtained the market rights to Rush Limbaugh and later Sean Hannity 's radio programs from KSTP. A mix of local and syndicated hosts such as Glenn Beck and Laura Ingraham filled out the rest of KTLK's schedule, including former KSTP host Jason Lewis and paranormal talk show Darkness Radio . The station had also resumed carrying Vikings football. Clear Channel also owned an AM news/talk station in Los Angeles, California that used
5478-413: The specific case of radioactivity , in becquerels . Whereas 1 Hz (one per second) specifically refers to one cycle (or periodic event) per second, 1 Bq (also one per second) specifically refers to one radionuclide event per second on average. Even though frequency, angular velocity , angular frequency and radioactivity all have the dimension T , of these only frequency is expressed using
5561-743: The station adopted the KFAN call letters. Following this change, the WDGY call letters were moved to the 630 kHz frequency, which was formerly KDWB (now WREY ). In 2000, KFAN and KEEY were acquired by Clear Channel Communications , the forerunner to current owner iHeartMedia. KFAN experienced severe storm damage in April 2004 at its transmission site, when four of the nine towers at its directional array in Credit River Township (near Prior Lake, Minnesota ) fell down. On August 22, 2010, KFAN's programming began simulcasting on 103.7 FM using translator station K279AZ. The translator broadcast from
5644-626: The station the rest of the day were poor, and not helped by KQRS' owners flipping its sister station, KEGE , to a similar hard rock format in 1997. WRQC and Stern left the Twin Cities airwaves at 10:30 a.m. on August 3, 1999, as the station began stunting by simulcasting co-owned KFAN (a harbinger of its future format), followed by simulcasts of cross-country sister stations KKSF in San Francisco , WTJM in New York City , and WUBT in Chicago . When
5727-457: The top station in the Twin Cities, with a mixture of middle of the road music (MOR), talk, news, sports and farm reports. As the 1970s ended, young listeners began switching to the FM band to hear contemporary music. That prompted WDGY to change to a country music format on September 2, 1977. The only other stations playing country in Minneapolis were KTCR AM and FM (now KFXN and KTCZ ). The AM
5810-480: The unit hertz. Thus a disc rotating at 60 revolutions per minute (rpm) is said to have an angular velocity of 2 π rad/s and a frequency of rotation of 1 Hz . The correspondence between a frequency f with the unit hertz and an angular velocity ω with the unit radians per second is The hertz is named after Heinrich Hertz . As with every SI unit named for a person, its symbol starts with an upper case letter (Hz), but when written in full, it follows
5893-403: The unit's most common uses are in the description of periodic waveforms and musical tones , particularly those used in radio - and audio-related applications. It is also used to describe the clock speeds at which computers and other electronics are driven. The units are sometimes also used as a representation of the energy of a photon , via the Planck relation E = hν , where E
5976-578: The upcoming week. Minnesota Wild Broadcast : KFAN FM 100.3 is the official flagship home of the Minnesota Wild. Since the 2011-12 NHL season, KFAN has broadcast all Wild preseason, regular season and Stanley Cup Playoff games on the State of Hockey's top-rated sports talk station. Bob Kurtz (play-by-play), Tom Reid (analyst) and Kevin Falness (studio host) capture all of the action and suspense. Coverage begins with
6059-510: The weekday schedule comes from nationally syndicated shows, mostly from co-owned Premiere Networks : The Glenn Beck Radio Program , The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show , The Sean Hannity Show , The Joe Pags Show (from sister station WOAI San Antonio ), The Jesse Kelly Show , Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal (via Compass Media Networks ). Weekends feature shows on money, health, home repair, real estate, law,
6142-589: The weekends (weekends only) in addition to Fox Sports Radio . The rotation is usually a pre-determined schedule but can be subject to change at any given time. CBS sports radio joined KFAN's lineup sometime around the end of 2018/beginning of 2019 when NBC Sports Radio programming was removed and replaced by the former. At first there was more CBS Sports radio than Fox Sports Radio, but the rotation has since evened out, if not returned to more Fox Sports Radio. Vikings Live/Vikings Country : Thursdays [usually] - almost always begins with Paul Allen (play-by-play voice of
6225-417: Was a daytimer powered at only 500 watts, while the FM's tower was only 150 feet tall, limiting both stations in coverage area. In 1982, WDGY's sister FM station, KEEY , flipped to a country format as well. The AM station specialized in personality and several decades of country music, while the FM kept chatter to a minimum and played mostly contemporary country hits. In 1984, WDGY and KEEY were acquired by
6308-554: Was a co-host until 2016, departing the show for other ventures. Kevin Falness is a typical fill-in when any of the hosts cannot be on-air. In the off-season, show is re-branded/re-titled "Beyond the Pod," correlating with the fact that it is only an all-podcast/podcast exclusive show. Sunday Sermons : Hosted by Dan Barreiro. Short version of Bumper to Bumper, with KFAN former intern and weekend producer Ryan Donaldson. Show typically recaps past week and provides coverage of weekend events. During
6391-424: Was absorbed into Clear Channel Communications (now its current owners, iHeartMedia ) the next year. On June 19, 2003, at noon, following a goodbye show, 100.3 changed to Smooth Jazz as Smooth Jazz 100.3 with new matching call letters KJZI . The last song on WLOL was " Tomorrow Never Knows " by The Beatles , while the first song on KJZI was Smooth Operator by Sade . This was the first smooth jazz station in
6474-482: Was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) ( Conférence générale des poids et mesures ) in 1960, replacing the previous name for the unit, "cycles per second" (cps), along with its related multiples, primarily "kilocycles per second" (kc/s) and "megacycles per second" (Mc/s), and occasionally "kilomegacycles per second" (kMc/s). The term "cycles per second" was largely replaced by "hertz" by
6557-563: Was adopted the same day. The station started broadcasting in 1965 as WCTS , with a non-commercial Christian format, consisting of mostly Bible teachings, by the Fourth Baptist Church in Minneapolis. WCTS took its call letters from its owner - the Central Theological Seminary. WCTS continues broadcasting on 1030 AM. Startup company Colfax Communications purchased WCTS-FM for $ 10 million in early 1993 . Part of
6640-502: Was discouraged by that point. After 64 years of dormancy, an amateur radio group in the area acquired the W9XAT call sign in 2002 with the intention of using it for mechanical and narrow-bandwidth TV experiments. Nine years after the 1945 death of Dr. Young, WDGY in 1954 flirted with modern TV, applying for Channel 9 in the Twin Cities. Also applying were competing radio stations WLOL and KEYD . WDGY and WLOL withdrew their applications at
6723-413: Was even more interested in launching a news/talk station in the Twin Cities, in order to air programming from company-owned Premiere Radio Networks and Fox News Radio . Having no available AM stations in the market on which they could run a news/talk format — ( KFAN was already highly successful with their sports/talk format, and daytimer KFXN possessed too weak a signal), Clear Channel decided to put
6806-505: Was expected, and on April 15, 1997, at 1:03 p.m., after an hour of stunting , WBOB became WRQC , broadcasting an active rock format with Howard Stern in the morning. WRQC took to the air as Real Rock 100 , and then Rock 100.3 . Stern's show was a mild success in the market, but consistently finished second or third in the ratings, while only taking away a smaller than expected number of listeners from KQRS and Tom Barnard . In addition, like many other Stern affiliates, ratings for
6889-440: Was the founder of the station, first using the call sign KFMT. ( KUOM , Minnesota's oldest station, began operation in 1922.) Dr. Young first operated the station from his house in Minneapolis at 2219 Bryant Ave. North, cycling through other call signs WHAT, WGWY ("W-George W. Young"), and finally WDGY ("W-Dr. George Young") in the next two years until being chastised by the government for changing too frequently. The station kept
