NE Radio: KHUB Drops NewsTalk For Country

Walnut Radio/Fremont NE has announced a flip from News/Talk to Country branding as Big Dog Radio.

The new station is broadcasting on K255DF 98.9 FM and is simulcast on KHUB 1340 AM.

“A few months back, we asked listeners what they would want in a new radio station and the answer was unanimous,” said Station Manager Chris Walz. “Listeners want a local country music station they can call their own – one that plays the best country music of yesterday, and the best new stuff, too.”

On February 1, 2018, Big Dog Radio was born. Big Dog features the music that made country great and the new stuff, too. Plus, listeners can still catch Rich Ray in the morning and Bob Flitte at noon and five. Big Dog promises an even bigger commitment to local news, weather, sports, and agricultural news. Big Dog Radio will broadcast area high school sports, as well as Midland University and Husker sports.

“We are very excited to extend our radio offerings in the Fremont area,” said Walz, “and we look forward to serving the area as The Hometown Country station.”
