Rollie and Juli answer the question: What is KBMW up to?

     Rollie Lipp and Juli Mauch are a fun couple on the air for your morning drive from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M.  on KBMW-AM 1450 and KBMWAM.com .  During their regular noon hour meeting at Prante’s Fine Dining on June 7^th members saw that aspect but also a more serious side as the two described the recent and soon-to-be changes at KBMW Radio.  While a separate entity of Wahpeton-Breckenridge Radio they are a part of Jim Ingstad’s Radio FM Media based in Fargo.  Recently the Wahpeton-Breckenridge entity purchased Eagle 106.9 in Fargo.

While the broadcast will still be done from Fargo will be managed from the Wahpeton studios.  They have also purchased 92.7 the Drive which will become a contemporary adult station with production from the Wahpeton studios.  A new studio is being built within the Wahpeton complex to provide for 92.7 and should be ready between July and September of this year.  One change that has already occurred is the addition of 94.3 FM which is a FM simulcast of the KBMW-AM broadcast.  It will serve an area about out to the Interstate and almost up to Wolverton with a clearer signal locally than possible on the AM station.  The AM station will continue to serve Richland, Ransom and Sargent Counties plus a part of Cass County including the city of Fargo in North Dakota; Wilkin and Ottertail plus a part of Clay Counties in Minnesota and Roberts County in South Dakota.  Of course by streaming on line at www.kbmwam.com they can be heard around the world.
