KILR (1070 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station serving the Estherville, Iowa area as well as the Iowa Great Lakes region. The station primarily broadcasts a talk radio format. KILR is licensed to Beaver Broadcasting, Inc., which also owns sister station KILR-FM. The AM-FM studios, transmitter and towers are located northeast of Estherville along Iowa Highway 4.
The station first signed on in December 1967 as a daytimer with 250 watts.
On March 17, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available " Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KILR authorized to move from 1070 to 1690 kHz. [1] However, the station never procured the Construction Permit needed to implement the authorization, so the expanded band station was never built
