KXXR (93X, 93.7 FM) is a hard rock radio station broadcasting to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. It is owned by KQRS (in turn owned by Disney), who also owns Drive 105. Its transmitter is located in Shoreview, Minnesota. Broadcasts on this frequency date back to the 1960s, when WAYL was operating with a "beautiful music" format. By the early 1990s, it was a hard rock station with the call sign KRXX (and known as 93X), but was purchased by KQRS around 1994.
At that point, the station became known as the alternative/post-progressive rock station The Edge and used KEGE for the call letters. Following the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that relaxed ownership restrictions, KQRS/Disney purchased "Rev 105" in March 1997 and began broadcasting hard rock on that station. Later that year, the two stations did a format swap of sorts, and 93.7 returned to being known as 93X. The former Rev 105 eventually became today's Drive 105.
93x originally made its debut on this frequency in 1992, before it switched formats to The Edge in 1994. The last sign off of 93x in 1994, they played R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It" for three straight days. A station-sponsored concert known as the 93XFest (originally EdgeFest) began around that time, and had taken place annually in Somerset, Wisconsin since the early 1990s. 2004 saw the last major Memorial Day concert in Somerset for 93x, when they introduced 93x Riverfest.
In the mornings, Weasel, Josh and Nick host the Half Assed Morning Show. Features of the Half Assed Morning Show include sports by Randy Shaver and the 'stupid news'.
