## Tuning into the Heart of the Borderland: K249BK and the Sounds of International Falls
Nestled on the Rainy River, directly across from Fort Frances, Ontario, lies International Falls, Minnesota, a city with a unique cross-border identity. And at the heart of this community's soundscape is K249BK, broadcasting as Minnesota Public Radio 97.7. More than just a radio station, K249BK serves as a vital connection to the world, bringing news, information, and entertainment to the residents of this vibrant border town.
International Falls, the county seat of Koochiching County, boasts a population steeped in resilience and a deep connection to the natural beauty surrounding them. Known as the "Icebox of the Nation" for its famously frigid winters, the city is equally celebrated for the warmth of its community spirit. K249BK reflects this duality, providing a constant stream of programming that informs, engages, and connects residents to each other and the wider world.
