K244FE (96.7 FM, "96.7 Pride Radio") is a translator broadcasting the LGBT-oriented Top 40 format of the HD3 subcarrier of iHeartMedia's KQQL. Licensed to Minneapolis' "Calhoun Beach" neighborhood, it serves the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area inside the I-494/I-694 beltway. The station is owned by iHeartMedia. All the offices and studios are located in St. Louis Park and the transmitter is atop the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis.
As of October 2, 2014, KQQL's Kool 1-0-80s format was being broadcast on KQQL's HD3 channel and on translator W244CS (96.7 FM) in the Southeast metro. On June 12, 2015, KQQL-HD3 and W244CS changed format to top-40, branded as "96.7 Pride Radio". In addition, W244CS became K244FE, and moved its transmitter to the IDS Center.
"96.7 Pride Radio" is the first analog station in the United States targeted to the LGBT community, and the second after Toronto's CIRR-FM in North America. K244FE is an extension of the national "Pride Radio" format available on iHeartRadio and on New York City's WKTU-HD2.
