The first edition of the LaCrosse Sentinel was published on July 22, 1915. Irving D. Young, a publisher, type setter, and printer, ran the paper until 1934. He later sold it to Burette E. Slater, who merged it with the Wanatah Mirror. The two publications merged, and the LaCrosse Sentinel became The Regional News. In June 2015, the station ceased publishing in its original location, but retains its name.
