*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.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS!
The 2024 Tower Site Calendar is very, very nearly sold out.
We are so happy that we have so many supporters after nearly a quarter century of doing this. We especially appreciate the nice comments we receive from our longtime buyers.
We will not be reprinting this year’s calendar, so if you want one, order it now. We still have some previous years available if you need to fill in any gaps.
In the meantime, we still have some great broadcasting books. Check out the store!
