Black Diamond strikes again!
Black Diamond buys WMPX and associated stations in Midland. Makes sense as a sister to WUPS.

Frontier Airlines SUCKS! They're a bunch of thieves. Don't fly with them!

Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
Epic fail by Black Diamond in letting arguably their biggest competitor swoop in & grab KLT!
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
What I would change is simulcast WUPS on 107.7 Translator in Midland and change 97.7 the Highway
Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
You'd have to put WUPS on 1490 also to do that. WMPX 1490 and it's translator on 107.7 are linked facilities.
Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

The owners of Northern Broadcasting and Ross Biederman have been working in the same market for decades. I wouldn't say they swooped in and grabbed klt.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 9:31 pmEpic fail by Black Diamond in letting arguably their biggest competitor swoop in & grab KLT!

Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
We'll have to agree to disagree. Everyone & their mother knew Northern Broadcasting was looking to exit the market. Merging KLT and the Bear into one brand would've produced a top 3 station for years to come.
They could've had the entire rock landscape in Northern Michigan to themselves; they whiffed on that opportunity big time.

Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
Maybe they wanted too much money for WKLT. Maybe they didn't want to sell it to Black Diamond. People rarely know the whole story about anything. All we really know is what is public record. The rest is rumor and conjecture, and "would have could have should have".

Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
If I remember correctly, 97.5 + the intellectual property went for $500,000, but a good chunk of that purchase price was financed by the seller.
I want to say 98.9 went for $450,000.

Re: Black Diamond strikes again!
Nothing has been filed yet on purchase of these stations with the FCC? Maybe Black Diamond was unable to pony up the money? Or got cold feet?
