45 North Media has begun operating Mitten Media’s 101.5 WMTE-FM Manistee MI and has flipped the station from AAA “101.5 The Mitten” to Rock leaning Classic Hits “Eagle 101.5“.
WMTE-FM is duplicating the branding and format of 45 North Media’s WMJZ Gaylord but separate programming. Scotty Mac, who had been hosting mornings on the previous AAA format remains in place. Owner Bryan Hollenbaugh will host middays from 10am-3pm, while WMJZ morning host Mike Reling will host afternoons.
WMTE-FM had been simulcasting on 106.3 WWMN Thompsonville/Traverse City MI until that station was sold to Mitten News in April and flipped to News/Talk.
