Midwest also owns five radio stations on the Iron Range; WMFG, WMFG-FM, WNMT, WTBX, and WUSZ.
WNMT broadcasts a typical AM station pattern during the day which gives it good coverage over most of Northeastern Minnesota.
However at nighttime, the station broadcasts a directional pattern from five towers which makes it difficult to receive south of the immediate Iron Range.
The initial broadcast over WNMT is thought to have been that of the assassination of Presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy the previous night, June 5, 1968.
The move to 650 kHz coincided with a switch to ABC Radio and WKKQ took Paul Harvey from WMFG.
