KLBB (1220 AM) is a radio station licensed to Stillwater, Minnesota and serving the eastern suburban Twin Cities area.
Prior to July 25, 2006, the station was known as WMGT ("Mighty 1220"), programming a full service MOR/adult standards/news/talk format. When the original KLBB in Minneapolis and its sister station (now KRJJ) were sold and switched to different formats, WMGT immediately picked up the KLBB call letters, format and a few of its personalities and staffers including Reed Hagen one of the longest running DJ's in the Twin Cities at one station, 25 years at the former KLBB. His guests have included some of the biggest names of the big band era including Cab Calloway, Frankie Carle (a personal friend), Lawrence Welk, Frank Devol, his friend Mel Torme and Jack Morgan among others.
Like the previous KLBB, the new incarnation also carries programming from the "Music Of Your Life" radio network.
From 1985 to 1993, this station was one of several locations of the locally historic call letters WTCN. Other call letters affixed to this frequency have included WVLE (prior to 1985), WIMN (1993-1997) and WEZU (1997-2003).
The station is the only affiliate of the Green Bay Packers Radio Network in the State of Minnesota.
