KLCI (106.1 FM, "Total Country BOB-FM") is a radio station serving the northwest Minneapolis-Saint Paul area of Minnesota, United States, that broadcasts a country music format. It is licensed to suburban Elk River, Minnesota and serves the Twin Cities as a rimshot signal. BOB-FM's 106.1 transmitter is in Albertville, Minnesota and its studios are in Ramsey, Minnesota.
BOB-FM's playlist focuses on a wide variety of country music. The station has a playlist of country from the 1960s to the best of today. KLCI brands itself as "TOTAL Country BOB-FM."
The station's nickname, "BOB-FM", came from a former Twin Cities country station, BOB 100, which changed formats in 1997 to an all-rock format with Howard Stern in the Morning. KLCI picked up the nickname and referred to itself as "The New BOB". The station was previously known as WQPM-FM, with the same country format.
In 2007, BOB 106 signed the long-time Twin Cities morning duo of Chuck & Jon (Chuck Knapp and Jon Engen) who had been the number-two morning show in the Twin Cities area at KTIS-FM.
Chuck Knapp retired in 2013, replaced by Neil Freeman who continued the Morning Show with Jon Engen. Jon Engen left the Morning Show in October 2014. Jim Erickson and Neil Freemen now host the morning show.
Jim Erickson also hosts the All Request Show at Noon each day. Geoff Jones is the afternoon drive host.
Since 2006, BOB-FM has been flagship station of Minnesota Lynx. BOB-FM also broadcasts Saint Paul Saints home games on Saturday Nights.
BOB-FM programming can be heard on KLCI/106.1; KDDG/105.5 in Albany, Minnesota; and KBGY/107.5 in Faribault, Minnesota.
