Townsquare Merges Rochester-Area Classic Hits Formats

Posted on September 27, 2021 by Jon Ellis

Townsquare Media has merged two Classic Hits stations in the Rochester area, with both now operating as “Fun 104.”

The “Fun” brand had launched in 2019 on KFNL-FM/104.3 (Spring Valley) and is now being simulcast on KDOC-FM/103.9 (Eyota-Rochester), which had previously run a separate Classic Hits format as “The Doc.”

A post on the stations’ website says the simulcast began on Sept. 10.

103.9 rimshots Rochester from the east while 104.3’s main coverage area serves the region south of Rochester, including Austin.

“Fun 104” competes with Classic Hits outlet “Minnesota 97-5” (KNXR), a standalone 100kW station in Rochester owned by Blooming Prairie Farm Radio.

KDOC-FM’s switch came a week after Townsquare switched KDCZ/107.7 (Eyota-Rochester) from Hard Rock to Classic Rock as “Sasquatch.”
