De La Hunt Broadcasting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De La Hunt Broadcasting in Park Rapids, Minnesota, is owned by Ed and Carol De La Hunt. The headquarters and studios are located on the east side of Park Rapids, near Highways 4 & 34. They have never bought an existing station, but actually built them all from the ground up.
In 2006, Ed and Carol De La Hunt were inducted into the Museum of Broadcasting Hall of Fame, in Golden Valley, MN.[1]
Their Park Rapids properties include KPRM 870 (classic country), KDKK 97.5 (easy listening), and KXKK 92.5 (country music). They also own KAKK (1570) and KQKK (101.9) in Walker, Minnesota, and KVKK (1070) Verndale, Minnesota.
An announcement was made in early May 2008, that two more stations are being added, targeting the Bemidji area. The construction permits have been issued, and building has begun. WBKK-AM 820, licensed to Wilton, will feature Classic Country with some Polka programming. KKWB-FM 102.5 seems to be headed for an easy listening format, much like KDKK.
