Radio F-M Media Operations Manager John Austin said Thursday that KQWB Q98 Rock’s move to 105.1 FM next week. Q98’s modern rock format will stay the same, he said, but the move down the dial is part of “fun changes” in the works for the company that took ownership of several stations Monday.

Overall, KFGO 790 AM continues to reign supreme among Fargo listeners,
commanding a 15.5 share – up from 15.2 in the fall and well above nearest
competitor WDAY-FM Y94, a Top 40 station that had a 10.7 share.
Spring ratings show some shifts in listening habits,
especially with country music. KBVB Bob 95, a Radio F-M station, pulled ahead of
Midwest Communications-owned KVOX Froggy 99.9 with respective shares of 8.6 and 8.2
for the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. The two country stations both had shares of
8.3 last fall.
He said Radio F-M Media has plenty of big changes planned
other than Q98’s move to 105.1 that’s “clearing the deck on 98.7 for something
exciting.” But he said listeners will have to wait for more details.
He didn’t offer any new hints about another big change for
the company – the future home of popular morning show hosts Jesse and Amanda
with Pike, who aired their last show July 31 on Froggy 99.9 before the station
moved to Midwest Communications.
Froggy 99.9 launched its new morning show with hosts Shawn
and Mandy on Monday.

You can shove your "Fun changes" John boy! You ruined a station that's been around for over 30 years. What did you do to the signal!!!! By the way KFGO, Froggy and Y94 all suck!!!!
ReplyDeleteQ98 always came in clear and strong. 105.1 has a weak signal. You can hear other stations mixed in with it. it pisses you off so you switch stations. So much for fun changes.
