As Martz Communications Group prepares to close on its $2.5 million sale of CHR “94.7 Hits-FM” WYUL Chateaugay and Country “Wild Country 96.5” WVNV Malone NY to Educational Media Foundation, the latter brand is moving to a network of AMs and translators in the region.
The “Wild Country” brand is now being heard on the former Classic Country “Star 100.1” 1470 WPDM/100.1 W261CJ Potsdam and former Classic Hits 1490 WICY/102.7 W274BI Malone and 103.5 W278CS Akwesasne.
With the move to the new signals afternoon host Dave Cohen has exited. Angie Thomas moves over from WPDM to host middays, while Brendyn Wayne moves from middays to afternoons. The syndicated Bobby Bones Show in mornings and B-Dub Radio at night round out the daily schedule. WPDM and WICY will break away separately for local high school sports.
