Notas del editor
- Northern Community Internet is roughly focused on a similar bio-region. KAXE has a transmitter in Grand Rapids and translators in Bemidji and Brainerd. In addition to the four cities shown, there are many other communities ranging from less than 200 people to over 8,000 spread out from east of Hibbing to Bemidji. The economy is largely based on the “three T’s”: Taconite iron mining and processing, Timber and paper products and Tourism, with literally thousands of lakes in the region.
