In 1940, the station KSTP launched a series of new programs, including the Sunset Valley Barn Dance, which was broadcast on Saturday evenings. The goal of the channel was to deliver "true american folk music in its original form" to listeners. The first show was broadcast on October 26, 1940 from the St. Paul Auditorium (now known as the Roy Wilkins Auditorium). It was produced by David Stone, who was previously the original announcer at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Soon afterward, the Sunset Valley Barn Dance became one of the most popular country programs in the Midwest.
