KATO-FM (93.1 MHz) is a radio station in Mankato (licensed to New Ulm) and serving the Minnesota River Valley.

By the early 1980s, as the station increased its power, it moved its broadcasting studios and its primary focus to the larger city of Mankato.

They flipped to adult contemporary in 1986 as "Lite Rock 93 KXLP" amid a large outcry from loyal listeners.

For many years, they were co-owned with KYSM-FM and KYSM, first by James Ingstad (as Pro Radio Group), then Cumulus Broadcasting, then Clear Channel Communications.

KXLP's former frequency changed call letters to KATO-FM, which launched a country music format (branded as "Minnesota 93") three days later.
