In early August, 09 the FCC awarded Northern Community Radio a construction permit to build a new radio station that would serve the Bagley / Bemidji area. We hope you will call KAXE at 218/326-1234 if you have any questions or want to help build KBXE! You can join a committee for construction, fundraising, events, technical crew or publicity OR you can come to the next general meeting. KBXE will be a noncommercial station licensed in the city of Bagley and operated by Northern Community Radio. Depending on the final location and power of the KBXE transmitter, the station will serve Bagley, Bemidji, Fosston, Gonvick, Clearbrook, Debs, Erskine and Zerkel. Read more in our blog.

The KBXE Paul Bunyan Flash Mob Video:

It was a beautiful day in downtown Bemidji. The sun was shining and people were enjoying Art in Park when a Paul Bunyan walked by. What? A Paul Bunyan? There's another! And three more! They're everywhere, what's going on here? It was Northern Minnesota's first ever flash mob, courtesy of 90.5 KBXE. On Sunday, July 18th 2010, a group of over 50 people gathered at Diamond Point Park in Bemidji for pizza and planning. Then the group set off for the Lake Bemidji Waterfront, dressed in red and black flannel shirts, blue jeans (rolled up of course), a painted mustache and a dark knit cap. The group slowly trickled through Art in the Park, turning a lot of heads and getting even more smiles. The Mobbers then drifted to the Paul and Babe statue, where they froze one at a time. What started as a couple of frozen Paul Bunyan's grew into dozens and people stopped to watch and take pictures while passing cars honked their horns. Read More...
