About History of KCHK/KRDS

On the Air since 1968

KCHK has a long and strong history of providing the people in Scott, LeSueur, Rice, and Carver Counties with their local news, sports and weather information.

Home for the MN Twins, we also bring a USA/IRN National News format, the Minnesota News Network and we are a leader in the area for the Minnesota Farm Network. KCHK works hard to bring to you, the news that matters most! We continually add new local and home grown programs to fit the needs of our diverse audience. From local Politics and Community Events to your local High School Sports… if its happening in your back yard… chances are, KCHK will have the information you need.

We are proud of the rich traditions embedded in our listening area and faithfully honor those traditions with our Old Tyme Polka Music hour and Sunday family Format. In fact, KCHK plays more polka music than any other station in the upper midwest!

AND… if Music is your passion, tune into KRDS 95.5 FM for the greatest hits of all time, 60’s 70’s… and the 80’s Music all the time with top of the hour local ‘95 Second News’ and local weather reports.
