    Radio

    Fargo-Moorhead radio is aligned into basically two large clusters and a couple outliers (one of which is AM 970 WDAY). From Wikipedia (which is never wrong ): On September 18, 2012, The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead reported that Radio Fargo-Moorhead, Inc. had announced on its website a deal to sell all the stations in the cluster to Midwest Communications of Wausau, Wisconsin.[1] The sale was approved by the FCC and finalized on 1 May 2013. Within hours of the sale, Radio Fargo-Moorhead owner purchased the cross-town rival cluster owned by Triad Broadcasting (KVOX-FM, KLTA, KPFX, KQWB-FM, KQWB-AM, and KBMW) in a deal that allowed him to take immediate control of the stations via a Local Marketing Agreement while the full sale awaited FCC approval.[2] In a third deal, Ingstad arranged to swap KVOX-FM with his former Country outlet KBVB, and its morning show "Chris, John and Jane".[3] The new Radio Fargo-Moorhead group identifies themselves as "Radio FM Media" and includes: KBMW 1450 (Talk/country) KBVB 95.1 "BOB95" (country) KLTA 98.7 "Big 98-7" (Hot AC) KPFX 107.9 "107.9 The Fox" (Classic rock) KQWB-AM 1660 "True Oldies 1660" (Oldies) KQWB-FM 105.1 "Q105.1" (Active rock) In September 2013, Radio FM Media started operating KZDR-FM "92.7 The Drive" Under a Local Marketing Agreement. The station is owned by an Ingstad family member who identifies the company as "Mediactive LLC". The other cluster is: The six station cluster consisted of: KVOX (AM) 740 - "740 The Fan" (sports) KFGO AM 790 - "The Mighty 790 KFGO" (news/talk) WDAY-FM 93.7 - "Y94" (CHR/top 40) KRWK FM 101.9 - "101.9 Talk FM" (news/talk) KMJO FM 104.7 - "104.7 Popster FM" (contemporary adult hits)

    If I recall, NDSU is buying air time on stations and controlling their own broadcast (including selling their own advertising time). I believe UND is still running an affiliate model where the stations pay to take the broadcast and the stations then sell their advertising time during the broadcast. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
  4. I'll buy off on your laundry list of excuses except for the first one. Everyone was running at the DII number. Could it be that it was a coaching issue with the scholarship-athletes they got?
  5. I could see the ability to "horse shoe" the south end, but isn't the Aurora Ballroom (and associated kitchens) too close out the north end? I think Alerus always saw all that open land to the north and had no worries. When that filled in, they had to act on what was there to the south or (as some one said) risk being landlocked.
  6. smokey the cat listing a dog and pony show over a Jaguar? smokey, have you been neutered and declawed?
  7. The game hasn't kicked off yet, but I'm declaring winner of "Best Commercial" right now. "Oh yes, ... it's good to be bad."
  8. I think Shattuck-St.Mary should be declared an Olympic hockey participant and anyone who's ever played there plays for the SSM Olympic squad.
  9. Cratter for the win.
  10. Someone needs to admit they were trying to be "cute" in light of the RIchard Sherman "thug" commercial and press conference ... and failed.
  11. OK, I'll admit I was not exactly "Captain Positive" about the hiring of Bubba; however, ... Seeing the increased traffic here of those of the yellow pants persuasion tells me that, even though they are sitting on an active three-peat, they are for some reason interested in a "non-rival" and it's new staff and recruiting. And that says UND is probably doing something right.
  12. Rutgers? The New Jersey State University? Seriously Philip? Seriously? <facepalm>
  13. You missed the Knights from both Riverdale and Arthur, and an all-time favorite ... Hope Hustlers*. *People worry about "rough riders" having a salacious connotation in today's world. Imagine "hustlers" in today's context.
  14. Familiarity breeds contempt. https://www.google.com/maps/preview/dir/Houston+Field+House,+1900+Peoples+Ave,+Troy,+NY+12180/Frank+L+Messa+Rink,+Alexander+Ln,+Schenectady,+NY+12308/@42.7932101,-73.80713,12z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89de0f9eaf5c1887:0x32e82ad8293a4d2c!2m2!1d-73.669704!2d42.731666!1m5!1m1!1s0x89de6de61a5aaf67:0x42d43e001bb477c5!2m2!1d-73.924824!2d42.818003?hl=en
  15. 14:58 14:59 15:00 Well, this thread's "15 minutes" are up.
  16. "Fan base"? Is that what one calls all the empty seats I saw via television for the inaugural "Wooden Salad Bowl ... on a stick"? T'was not a proud showing for either afternoon game, and the night game wasn't exactly "capped out" either.
  17. Now I'm agreeing with a Gopher; last week it was a Bison. I think I need to visit my physician.
  18. Back when a FB coach hadn't been named yet I heard someone high up in UND Athletics say it would be at least the last week of January before a VB coach was named.
  19. Not a fan of the oil when gas is an option. No wood burning option either.
  20. Folks in MN and ND are back online; WI should be shortly. Tip of cap to everyone who was out in the real cold to deal with this.
  21. Yes, but some folks still think those are solutions. They need reality stated at times.
  22. Ames, Iowa, home to the Iowa State University Cyclones and the Ames High School Little Cyclones.
  23. Seriously? Here's a topic. Discuss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_security
  24. The wind mills that were in auto shut-down because the wind was too strong? Yes, the shut down when the wind is too strong (to prevent damage). And it was overcast. This is a bad scenario: Limited natural gas in the middle of a nasty January cold snap.
  25. The man who led the Rough Riders: "I have always said I would not have been President had it not been for my experience in North Dakota." The state nickname? “Roughrider State” - This name originated in a state-supported tourism promotion of the 1960s and 70s. It refers to the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry which Theodore Roosevelt organized to fight in the Spanish-American War. In fact, the "Roughriders," which included several North Dakota cowboys, fought dismounted in Cuba due to logistical problems. In both 1971 (House Bill No. {H.B. No.} 1383) and 1973 (G.B. No. 1443) the Legislative Assembly defeated bills intended to change the words Peace Garden State on state license plates to Roughrider Country.
