KOLM (1520 AM, "1520 The Ticket") was a sports formatted radio station in Rochester, Minnesota, and is owned by Townsquare Media. KOLM derived a portion of its programming from Infinity Sports Network.
History
On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare would acquire 53 Cumulus Media stations, including KOLM, for $238 million. The deal is part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global are both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management.[2][3] The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.[4]
As of April 1, 2025, Townsquare Media took KOLM silent, claiming changes in market economic conditions.
