KQCL (95.9 FM, "Classic Rock Power 96") is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock music format.[1] Licensed to Faribault, Minnesota, United States, the station is currently owned by Townsquare Media.[2]

History

The station was assigned the call sign KDHL-FM on January 10, 1968. On September 1, 1987, the station changed its call sign to KOFN, and on November 1, 1988, to the current KQCL.[3]
