History

Real Presence Radio began on November 6, 2004, following the purchase of KWTL AM 1370 in Grand Forks, covering most of the Roman [Catholic Diocese of Fargo|Diocese of Fargo] and the Diocese of Crookston. On February 6, 2009, Real Presence Radio purchased KVXR AM 1280 in Fargo from Voice of Reason Radio. KVXR switched programming from the Relevant Radio network to a simulcast of KWTL, forming the Real Presence Radio network.
On October 22, 2010, the network built and signed on KPHA FM 91.3 in Bismarck. Translators began broadcasting in Minot on February 20, 2011, and Williston on January 20, 2011. On October 16, 2012, Real Presence Radio purchased the KZZQ call letters and began operating 101.9 FM KZZQ, which serves the Dickinson area, and on December 1, 2014, the network began broadcasting on 91.7 KXRP in Bismarck and on December 12, 2014, 104.1 KZTW in Tioga, ND. The network purchased a station in the Duluth-Superior area, WWEN, on February 15, 2016, from American Family Radio. Effective March, 2018, Real Presence Radio purchased KGLL in Gillette, Wyoming from American Family Radio.
Real Presence Radio is also heard on low power affiliate stations 98.9 KXYM-LP in June 2015 in Belcourt, ND and 99.7 KZEB-LP in September 2014 in Jamestown, ND.
