    You gotta remember that 107.9 the FOX is our main station and it's the #2 rated station and #1 FM station in town. It's also 100,000 watts. Were not going to lose anything by dropping kfgo. Bison fans will learn to flip over to the Fox. We will gain new listeners on it that never listened to KFGO

    1660 is our daily talk station. What's awesome is we get partial ownership (basically) and will earn 35% of the revenue. This could be a total cash cow. When you basically own the station, you get more control over the content too.

    Besides our total radio coverage is freaking amazing. There isn't an inch of the state you can pick up a Bison game.

    As far as KFGO declining, our buddy Rob Port had a good article on this. Plus the decline started with the crappy Wisconsin ownership

    On 740 Jack said they'd still be covering the Bison. It'll be interesting to see how their coverage compares to how they covered UND before. KFGO is in an interesting position.

    You know, the funny thing that many forget is when big Eddie went to KFGO in the '90's, KFGO went with UN_ when they could not get the NDSU contract. (Admit, not sure they tried hard or not, but they did pick UN_ at the time.) Amazing how history repeats itself with UN_ always being the fall back, second fiddle.

    The difference being that these are affiliate deals for UND in Fargo. Don't you think it would be pretty strange if a Fargo-based station picked being an affiliate of UND's radio network instead of the flagship station of the university located in Fargo?

    I'm sure Kate Upton thought it was strange when I chose my wife over her.... but she got over it, much to the delight of Justin Verlander.

    I would hope so. If a Grand Forks station had NDSU football games, they obviously won't stop talking about UND football or Hockey unless they want like zero listeners

    Does Grand Forks even have many NDSU alumni or fans there? Doesn't seem like an ideal place to live if you want to be successful, let alone, happy in life.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    I obviously don't have any numbers, but posters on SS frequently complain about the number of folks in El Forke Grande wearing Bison championship gear.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
