MICHAEL BROOKS NAMED TO RUN TRIAD BROADCASTING’S “GO RADIO” GROUP IN FARGO MOORHEAD

Triad Broadcasting Company announced today that Michael Brooks has been elevated to the position of Market Manager of its Go Radio Broadcasting properties, the leading group of radio stations in Fargo Moorhead.

Brooks has been the long-time Director of Sales for the Go Radio group of stations, which includes the market’s leading station, Froggy 99.9 KVOX-FM, as well as FM 105 KLTA, 107.9 The Fox KPFX, Q98 KQWB-FM, 106.9 The Eagle KEGK, and KQWB-AM.

“Michael has always done an exemplary job of running the advertising side of our company,” said David Benjamin, President of Triad, which is the parent company of Go Radio. We’re obviously confident of his abilities. He was the clear choice to run our overall operations.”

Brooks’ promotion comes in the wake of the resignation by Nancy Odney, who had run the Go Radio group for the last 7 years under Triad. Acknowledging the recent changes of personnel and ownership in the Fargo market, Triad Sr. Vice President Mike Wild said, “We wish Nancy well, but we’re also genuinely enthused at the degree to which our staff has instantly rallied around Michael.

“Fargo Moorhead is a vibrant and competitive radio market, more so than most other markets this size. That’s great for listeners, and equally great for advertisers,” Wild said.

“I’m elated to have the opportunity,” said Brooks, who has been in Fargo radio management since 1990. “In the last three days, it has become very clear that this will be a very exciting opportunity for our entire team. This move has
brought out the very best in our staff and I appreciate all of their support. We have the number one group of stations already and we have the team assembled to make our company even better.”

Triad has owned the Go Radio station group since 1999, and also owns KBMW in Wahpeton, ND. Brooks’ promotion is effective immediately.
