Fargo Radio: Rock Wars Return

A Rock war has resumed in Fargo after Midwest Communications, doing business locally as Midwest Radio Fargo-Moorhead, flipped KRWK/101.9 back to "Rock 102" on Sunday afternoon.

According to the media website Northpine, the change follows Jim Ingstad's recent move of Active Rocker KQWB-FM from its longtime home at 98.7 (Moorhead) to the rimshot signal of 105.1 (Breckenridge).

Ingstad also owns Classic Rocker 107.9 "The Fox" (KPFX Fargo) while Midwest has no other Fargo stations in the Rock genre.

Ingstad owned KRWK when it flipped from "Rock 102" to "Talk FM" in March 2012 and later sold the group to Midwest.

The move yet again leaves Rush Limbaugh without an affiliate in Fargo; Rush has been on at least five stations in the market in the past fifteen years. A post on KRWK's old website says "Rock 102" will continue to air the Minnesota Vikings and NDSU Bison Football.
