A BIGGER VOICE
FOR SMALL TOWNS.
Wave 98.9 is being built as a digital-first media home for Mentor, Maple Lake, and the communities that make Northwest Minnesota worth knowing.
Music matters here. So do Friday-night lights, local businesses, family stories, community events, and the people creating something from the ground up. Wave brings those pieces together in one modern regional platform.
