'KARP' call letters picked up by another Hutchinson radio station

HUTCHINSON (AP) -- A Hutchinson radio station picked up the call letters KARP, just weeks after KARP-FM of Glencoe Hutchinson was sold and reborn as KTTB-FM, a Twin Cities urban station.

Now, 106.9 KKJR-FM is KARP.

KARP's old country/variety format has replaced KKJR's adult contemporary format.

What used to be ''Hit 96'' -- the old KARP-FM -- is now ''The New Hit 106'' KARP-FM, which used to be KKJR ''The Flame'' 106.9.
