KCND (90.5 FM) is a public radio station licensed to Bismarck. It signed on the air in 1981 as Prairie Public Radio, which later became part of the statewide North Dakota Public Radio network, the entirety of which was later renamed Prairie Public Radio. It currently broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 50 kW on 90.5 MHz.
News Director Dave Thompson worked at KCND for over 40 years, becoming one of the most recognizable voices in North Dakota journalism. He was the first person to speak on Prairie Public’s radio network when KCND-FM launched on September 1, 1981, and remained a key figure in the station’s news coverage for decades.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
