Salem also ran "The Patriot II" on sister station [[KDIZ (AM)|KYCR]] in [[Golden Valley, Minnesota|Golden Valley]].  KYCR's program schedule was initially almost the same as WWTC, with the addition of [[Bill O'Reilly (commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]]'s midday show, and mostly aired repeats of shows already on WWTC.  In 2007, KYCR changed to a separate talk format as "AM 1570: The New Talk of the Twin Cities", and would later shift to a business news format as "Business 1570, Twin Cities Business Radio." In December 2015, KYCR flipped to a health-oriented talk format known as "Wellness Radio 1570". KYCR swapped call letters with KDIZ the same year, with KYCR taking on the business news and talk format.
