History

The station launched on January 12, 2015, a collaboration with KVSC. It was created from scratch by a 2011 high school graduate from Hutchinson, Minnesota.^[6] KVEX is entirely student-run, like most College radio stations. With 45 watts, the station's general range is 9 miles (14 km). The station's general intent is to fill a hole in programming in the St. Cloud radio market, with alternative rock programming.^[7]
