KTMY


KTMY is a non-political, female-oriented talk radio station broadcasting to the Twin Cities region. The station is owned and operated by Hubbard Broadcasting. The station's studio facility, located on the boundary line between St. Paul and Minneapolis, is shared with sister stations KSTP, KSTP-FM, KSTP-TV and KSTC-TV. The station's transmitter is located at Telefarm Towers in Shoreview, Minnesota.

Station history

The station was originally licensed to serve New Richmond, Wisconsin as WIXK-FM, simulcasting the country music format of that city's WIXK 1590 AM. Hubbard Broadcasting bought both stations in 2000 for $27 million and moved WIXK-FM to the immediate Twin Cities area, where the station's city of license was changed from New Richmond to Coon Rapids, Minnesota and its transmitter moved to the Telefarm installation in Shoreview.
On June 3, 2002, WIXK-FM adopted the WFMP call sign and dropped country in favor of a talk format, originally branded as "FM 107", that emphasized issues, topics, and conversations that catered to a female audience. The original FM 107 schedule included national call-in/advice shows featuring Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Dr. Joy Browne, and Clark Howard, but locally produced programming would make up a majority of the schedule in later years. The tone of programming would change over time as well, moving from a mix of serious and lighthearted discussions to a larger emphasis on entertainment news, gossip, pop culture, and other not-so-serious topics. This coincided with the station adopting the current KTMY call sign and the "myTalk" branding in February 2010.
In 2007, the station gained a measure of national exposure by heeding a call from condemned inmate Philip Workman to have vegetarian pizza delivered to homeless residents of Nashville, Tennessee.
