Minnesota Public Radio began on January 22, 1967, when KSJR signed on from the campus of Saint John's University in Collegeville, just outside St.

This corporation later changed its name to Minnesota Educational Radio, and finally Minnesota Public Radio.

Minnesota Public Radio also programs several other music services, all available online, with a few offered on HD Radio in the Twin Cities area.

Subsidiary Communications Authority ( SCA's ) are used to transmit a Minnesota version of the Radio Talking Book Network to disabled listeners around the state, in cooperation with Minnesota State Services for the Blind.

To quote the Minneapolis Star Tribune, " Nearly every potentially vulnerable Senate Republican, from Norm Coleman Minnesota to Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina and John Sununu of New Hampshire, has signed on to the legislation.

In November 2004, following Republican gains in the United States Senate, Dole narrowly edged out Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota for the post of chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

His term ended on January 3, 2009, and after a six-month legal battle in which he lost each decision in the process, the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously declared Franken the election winner by 312 votes ( out of over 3 million cast ) on June 30, 2009, prompting Coleman to concede.

Coleman then joined the office of the Minnesota Attorney General as a prosecutor, eventually rising to chief prosecutor and then solicitor general.

But Minnesota law requires an automatic recount when the margin between the leading candidates is less than 0. 5 % of the vote, and the margin between Coleman and Franken was about 0. 01 %.

On December 24, 2008, after losing a unanimous decision at the hands of the Minnesota Supreme Court, Coleman's lawyers stated that it was now a " virtual certainty " that Coleman would contest the results of the election.

Coleman appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments on June 1.

After sitting Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty announced that he would not seek re-election in 2010, it was widely anticipated that Coleman would run for governor.

Coleman was praised for his efforts to improve the bill ’ s provisions with regard to sugar, which is a mainstay of northwestern Minnesota ’ s economy, as well as the bill ’ s dairy program.

In December 2005, Coleman voted for a budget bill that cut funding from a number of programs, but kept funding for sugar beet farmers in Minnesota after Rove asked him to support the administration's position on the issue.

He is a member of the Minnesota Democratic – Farmer – Labor Party, which affiliates with the national Democratic Party, and in 2008, he narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman by 312 votes.

With Gary Eichten of Minnesota Public Radio, Paul co-moderated a memorable debate between United States Senate candidates Walter Mondale and Norm Coleman.

During the 2008 Minnesota Senate election between Al Franken and Norm Coleman, Democracy for America partnered with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee for the " Donate a Dollar a Day to Make Norm Go Away ".

In 2007, Senator Norm Coleman ( Republican, Minnesota ) proposed an amendment to a defense appropriations bill that forbade the FCC from " using any funds to adopt a fairness rule.

Reform Party candidate Jesse Ventura defeated Republican Party challenger Norm Coleman and Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party challenger Hubert H. " Skip " Humphrey III.

For example, in the 2008 Minnesota senate election, challenger Al Franken accused Senator Norm Coleman of omitting 1. 1 seconds of the required visual of the candidate, a mistake that could potentially double the advertising rates and costs millions to Coleman's campaign.

The Senate projection was also close to the actual outcome, predicting 34 of the 35 decided states correctly, including correctly showing a Democratic pickup in Alaska and incorrectly showing the Republican Senator Norm Coleman holding his seat in Minnesota.
