KXCV (90.5
The station with its repeater
It is the flagship station of the Bearcat Radio Network which broadcasts the university's football games (as well as men's and women's basketball games). Interest in the football games skyrocketed after Northwest won national NCAA Division II championships in 1998, 1999, 2009 and 2013 with five additional appearances in the title game during the same time period. Other members of the network are KCXL AM & FM (Liberty, Missouri), KKWK-FM (Cameron, Missouri), and KMA in Shenandoah, Iowa.
The station originally broadcast from the top floor of the university's Administration Building. Its facilities were destroyed in a catastrophic fire in the building in 1979. It now broadcasts from Well's Hall which is the remodeled former library of the school.
KXCV (XCV - Roman numbers for 95) is located at 90.5 on the FM. KRNW is at 88.9. KXCV broadcasts at 100 kW while KRNW broadcasts at 38 kW.
