KUND-FM


KUND-FM is a radio station licensed to Grand Forks, North Dakota. It airs a format consisting of jazz, classical music and news and talk programming. KUND shares its coverage area with Minnesota Public Radio outlets KNTN and KQMN, both licensed to Thief River Falls, Minnesota. This makes Grand Forks one of the smallest markets with competing NPR stations.

History

KUND-FM's first license was granted, as KFJM-FM, on June 17, 1976, operating on 89.3 MHz. It was the second station licensed to the University of North Dakota, joining the original KFJM, an AM station that dated to 1923.
In 1995 the university's third station, KFJY, began broadcasting on 90.7 MHz. On August 15, 1997 all three University of North Dakota stations changed call signs. KFJM-FM became KUND-FM, while the original KFJM became KUND and KFJY on 90.7 MHz inherited the historic KFJM call letters.
In September 2018 KUND-FM, along with KFJM, was sold by the University of North Dakota to Prairie Public Radio.
