Radio Mankato is a cluster of locally owned radio stations serving southern Minnesota from Mankato, with a focus on live, local programming that covers news, weather, farm information, and sports. The group operates multiple brands across AM and FM frequencies, delivering a mix of local news, information, and music tailored to communities in Mankato, North Mankato, Saint Peter, New Ulm, and nearby areas. Founded by Don Linder and now led by his son John, the company emphasizes community engagement and local ownership in a landscape increasingly dominated by syndication and large networks.
Based in Mankato, Minnesota, Radio Mankato positions itself as a regional broadcast media producer and distributor offering a variety of formats—from news and information to country, contemporary hit radio, classic rock, oldies, and sports coverage. The business targets local listeners and agricultural communities, providing weather, news, and sports updates to help residents stay informed. A recent development noted is leadership appointments within the organization, reflecting ongoing management activity as it continues to serve its broadcast footprint through multiple brands such as KTOE, KATO-FM, KDOG-FM, KXLP-FM, KXAC-FM, and KFSP.
