The Argus Observer notes KSRV will air high school football games for Fruitland and Ontario High Schools. Station manager Dave Tester will also host three local sports shows each week. A lunch-time show will broadcast from Fiesta […]

Wonder whose job this was…

I’m very excited about the appointment to my new management position with Impact Radio Group
Those words were credited to Darla Sturtevant in a news release issued eight days ago. But Sturtevant is no longer with Impact. Idaho Radio News has confirmed through multiple sources that Impact’s newly-appointed director of sales has left the […]

The strange saga at Impact Radio Group continues.
As I totally didn’t report last week - the group hired Darrell Calton as its new GM. Calton previously held the Director of Sales position for Citadel Boise. The group also elevated another Citadel alum - Darla Sturtevant to Director of Sales… though there could be another […]

Sources confirm that Imapct Radio CEO Randy Hyatt and operations manager Kris Edwards have been relieved of their positions with the company.
Hyatt was let go first, just hours after he dismissed Mitch Pruitte I’m told. Several days later, Edwards was terminated. It sounds like Locally Owned/FM Idaho/Impact SVP Elliot Klein will be calling […]

Interesting results so far on our Impact Radio polls from last week. It’s a 50/50 tie on wether KTMB/99.1 The Man should have been given more time to find his sea legs. But folks aren’t so split on the idea of another Spanish-language station, with 65% saying it won’t work.
Right now, the Treasure […]

Those big changes at Boise’s Impact Radio Group we broke earlier this week are set to start. Here come the bullet points…

KQLZ/Idaho’s True Oldies Channel moves from 100.7 to 99.1 starting tomorrow. Impact will stick it to “The Man” and end the format
99.1 and 100.7 will simulcast until August 31.
On September 1, 100.7 FM […]

The Man experiment is about to end. A well-connected tipster says the year-long tryout of KTMB/99.1 The Man will end soon - with KQLZ/Idaho’s True Oldies Channel moving to the superior 99.1 slot (from 100.7). The big question mark is the fate of the 100.7 frequency. Also, would KTIK try to find […]

Former Tester Broadcasting CEO Dave Tester and current Impact Radio Group sales guy Wayne Dzuback have teamed up to broadcast the Snake River Stampede rodeo this week. The Idaho Press Tribune reports the pair are doing the call on KTMB/99.1 The Man - and a couple of AM stations.
“I secretly want to be a rodeo […]

“Idaho’s Largest Garage Sale” from Peak Broadcasting will take off at the Western Idaho […]

Idaho Radio News has obtained a large packet of documents relating to the radio rights process for Boise State University’s football and basketball games - including proposals by Peak Broadcasting, Citadel Broadcasting and Impact Radio (formerly Tester Broadcasting).
The documents outline three very different proposals — and show that only two were […]

Big things coming out of KMCL — but the AM and FM.
KMCL-FM is now KMXM-FM, and is set to move to Parma (as previously reported), under the ownership of Wendel Starke and his FM Idaho group. The station would presumably become part of the former Tester Broadcast Group — now Impact Radio. For […]

Impact Radio’s KTMB/99.1 The Man launched a new website - 991theman.net. The site is still a bit light on content, but has a nice layout - and even an ad!
