Fargo Radio: WDAY To Debut New AM Shiow “Bonnie and Friends”


WDAY Radio has announced that a new morning drive news program will begin airing Thursday September 16th on AM 970 and FM 93.1.

The program will be hosted by well-known local radio personality Bonnie Amistadi, with talk radio veteran Steve Hallstrom serving as co-host.

The program will be called “Bonnie & Friends” and will feature several news, weather, and sports personalities contributing to the program. “Bonnie & Friends” will air 5 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. each weekday.

“I love that feeling of being there early in the morning for my radio listeners,” says Amistadi. “Many of them have become friends and whether they are starting their day, heading to bed, or somewhere in between, I enjoy being the one who delivers their news, weather, and sports. And plenty of laughs too!”
