Q Media Properties is adding a third station to its operations in the northern fringes of the Minneapolis market.
Q will purchase Full Service AAA 95.5 KBEK Mora MN from Jay Mankie and Mary Lodin’s Genesis Technology Communication for an undisclosed amount. KBEK will join a cluster that includes “Cool Country 100.9” WCMP-FM and “Classic Hits 106.5” 1350 WCMP/106.5 W293DA Pine City.
Q Media Properties, which also owns stations in Red Wing, Lake City and Wabasha MN, will begin operating KBEK via LMA on November 1.
Jay Mankie and Mary Lodin are pleased to announce the sale of KBEK-FM to Q-Media. Q Media Properties, LLC is 100% owned by Alan and Linda Quarnstrom of Red Wing, Minnesota who currently own WCMP AM and WCMP FM in Pine City along with four other stations in Red Wing.
Q-Media Properties will be dedicated to bringing the Mora community the same local news, sports, and community programming that they provide in all of their stations.
According to Al Quarnstrom, “We look forward to being involved in the Mora community and continuing the commitment to strong, local radio that KBEK has been proud of for many years.”
The stations will be operated by Q Media Properties, LLC under a local sales and marketing agreement beginning on November 1st, pending approval of the Federal Communication Commission.
