History

WSCN signed on as WKLK-FM at 100.9 MHz on November 17, 1975. It was owned with WKLK (1230 AM) and almost entirely simulcast it. The station was sold to Minnesota Public Radio in 1988 for $200,000 and upgraded its signal, relocating to 100.5.[3]

On January 20, 2016, MPR announced that WSCD translator 90.9 W215CG and WSCN-HD2 would air its adult album alternative network The Current beginning February 1, 2016. Programming will primarily originate from KCMP in Minneapolis, but local programs will also be included.[4]
