KMAV-FM 105.5 and KMAV-AM serve Eastern North Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota. KMAV is known as "Your Sports Leader in the Red River Valley." Simulcast for many years, KMAV-FM and KMAV-AM have been broadcasting separate programming since November 2003. KMAV-AM 1520 is on the air in the daytime only, so it signs off at sunset, and signs on again at sunrise.
While known for sports coverage, KMAV-FM plays country music during the day, oldies from 2-4 PM, and polka 11:30-1:00 on most Sundays. KMAV-AM airs ESPN radio, occasionally preempted by local sports coverage. KMAV covers the Red River Valley area, including Mayville, Grand Forks, and Fargo.
