Project Overview

KRPR will collaborate with Ampers to produce and distribute MN90: Rochester History in 90-Seconds, a series of short, fun and engaging stories exploring the history of Rochester and the surrounding area. The highly produced 90-second segments will cover a wide range of topics including sports, politics, agriculture, business, pop culture, entertainment, and much more. To maximize the Legacy funding, these segments will be edited slightly so that they can also be aired by the rest of the Ampers stations as MN90 segments.
