Tune Into Community Ties: NWA Radio Begins Broadcasting at Northwest Angle

NWA Radio, a new radio station, has started broadcasting in the Lake of the Woods area, specifically at the Northwest Angle, the northernmost point of the contiguous United States. Joe Laurin, a local resident and President of the Angle Edge Riders Snowmobile Club, founded the station. It began operations in early April 2024 and focuses on community news and stories from the NW Angle, avoiding national news or politics.

The station is online, reaching listeners globally but primarily targets those within a hundred-mile radius of the Angle. The NW Angle has a small population of about 100 people, and NWA Radio aims to strengthen this community's bonds by sharing local news and stories.

Since its launch, NWA Radio has attracted over 200 listeners at times. It features interviews with locals like Kellie Knight and Lisa Marvin, who discuss their lives and local events such as the Max Multi-Species Fishing Derby. This event, created by Marvin in memory of her brother, promotes mental wellness among youth through The Max Foundation.
