Who says you can't go home again? After two seasons on obscure country station Bob 106 (KLCI-FM 106.1), the Minnesota Timberwolves have moved their radio broadcasts back to KFAN-AM 1130, where they were since the franchise began.
This is a surprise because the front-runner was fellow Clear Channel station KTLK-FM 100.3, which has a stronger signal than KFAN does. What happened? First, KTLK is rumored to be one of the Twin Cities stations about to be sold in the wake of Clear Channel's ownership shakeup. Second, the conservative talk station presumably didn't want to pre-empt Jason Lewis' or Sean Hannity's shows.
With the Twins on KSTP-AM 1500 and the Wild on WCCO-AM 830, sports talk station KFAN must've figured they needed another professional sports franchise to go along with the Vikings. (Dan Barreiro wouldn't mind being pre-empted every once in awhile, would he?) Now all the Timberwolves have to do is to provide a team worth listening to.
