WMIN (740 AM, "The True Oldies Channel") is a daytime-only oldies radio station serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota. It is licensed to Hudson, Wisconsin, three miles east of its studios in Lakeland, Minnesota.

[edit] History

WMIN was a pop/rock Spanish-language station as "La Nueva Ley" until November 14, 2005. They also aired sports talk at various times during the previous two decades. Previously, WMIN leased time to two formats that eventually purchased their own full-time frequencies: "Straight Talk Radio" (now Air America Minnesota on AM 950 KTNF) and Relevant Radio (on AM 1330 WLOL).

The previous call letters were WAOZ (until 1983) and WRPX (until 1993) prior to picking up the vacated WMIN calls.

Historically, the WMIN callsign was used from 1936 until 1972 by the predecessor to today's KMNV 1400 AM, and the call was also briefly used for a shared time television station that eventually became today's KARE channel 11.
