*After just over two decades in control of the radio scene in greater Bloomsburg, PENNSYLVANIA, Joe Reilly’s Columbia Broadcasting Company is selling its remaining stations, giving Kristin Cantrell’s Seven Mountains/Southern Belle group a link between its signals in the central Susquehanna Valley and its new holdings in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market.
The purchase will likely give Seven Mountains an extension into Columbia and Montour counties for the “Bigfoot Legends” classic country format it runs on WLGD (107.7 Dallas) and WARM (590 Scranton); the company also owns “Bigfoot Country” signals in Bloomsburg (WCFT 106.5, the long-ago WHLM-FM) and over in Stroudsburg (WVPO 840), as well as hot AC WSBG (93.5) in the Poconos and classic hits “Hanna” (WHNA and simulcasts) in the Susquehanna Valley.
THE 2025 TOWER SITE CALENDAR IS COMING VERY SOON!
The landmark 24th edition of the world-famous Tower Site Calendar is in production, and your support will determine whether it will be the final edition.
It’s been a complicated few years here, and as we finish up production of the new edition (including a cover reveal, coming later this week!), we’re considering the future of this staple of radio walls everywhere as we evaluate our workload going forward.
The proceeds from the calendar help sustain the reporting that we do on the broadcast industry here at Fybush Media, so your purchases matter a lot to us here – and if that matters to you, now’s the time to show that support with an order of the new Tower Site Calendar. (And we have the new Broadcast Historian’s Calendar for 2025 ready to ship, too. Why not order both?)
Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the next calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
