History

KWOA first began broadcasting in 1947, licensed to Worthington, Minnesota. The call letters were originally established to signify "K Worthington On Air." For several decades, the station served as a "Middle-of-the-Road" outlet before transitioning to a country music format during the 1970s. By the mid-1980s, the station shifted to a news/talk format, which it maintained until its most recent rebranding. In 2012, Absolute Communications II, L.L.C. acquired the station as part of a $2.2 million purchase from Three Eagles Communications.. On August 14, 2017, the station flipped to its current sports format, rebranding as "The Fan 730."
April 2013, its transmitting tower was toppled by a blizzard. However, the station continued transmitting using a longwire antenna to provide storm-related information to its listeners.
