A Portage radio station owned by Magnum Media, WBKY, has moved to the Stoughton-Janesville area.
Dave Magnum said the process took 21 years.
“My two sons, Reid and Ty, were just lads when we started this process,” Magnum said. “Whenever we reminisce about the umpteen town and county zoning meetings and hearings, we make sure to have a stout beer in hand.”
WBKY programming is also airing on on WSJY-FM HD-4. WSJY HD-4 is re-broadcasting on Madison translator W258CM which operates on 99.5-FM.
“For WBKY we need listeners to remember just two numerals: 9’s and 5’s,” Reid Magnum said. “We are so appreciative of everyone who stood with our family over the years.”
The combination of 95.9 and 99.5 provides WBKY with analog coverage from Arlington to Beloit, plus HD coverage of the Class B signal of WSJY.
Dave Magnum and his late wife, Lynn, started from scratch in 1991 with a Tomah construction permit. Magnum Media currently operates 22 Wisconsin radio stations and multiple FM translators.
