WCCO

WCCO is a set of radio and television stations with a storied history spanning more than 80 years that serves the Minneapolis-St. Paul area of Minnesota. WCCO-AM is a clear channel station broadcasting at 830 kHz, reaching a wide area of North America at night when other transmitters on the frequency are required to reduce power or shut down for the night. In television, WCCO-TV broadcasts on channels 4 (analog) and 32 (digital). Additional TV transmitters in the north serve Alexandria (KCCO 7, 24 DT) and Walker, Minnesota (KCCW 12, 20 DT). The call sign comes from the Washburn Crosby Company (now known as General Mills), which was an early owner.
