Pioneer PolkaCast can now be heard in your car! The station, featuring Minnesota-made Polka and Old-Time music 24-7, was first heard only as a web stream. We’ve heard from listeners all over the country who enjoy the unique blend of music, so we’ve added an on-air signal to the web stream!

Now, with an HD digital radio, you can also pick up the PolkaCast in your car, office, or home for free – over the air – on our HD-2 channel.

The digital signal doesn’t travel as far as the analog signal, but listeners in Thief River Falls, Warren, Crookston, and Red Lake Falls should be able to hear the Pioneer PolkaCast clearly on an HD radio.

Pioneer PolkaCast is made possible by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
