Star Country 106.7 Launches In Northern Michigan

After a week of multiple stunts including Christmas music and a small loop of Classic Rock songs, MacDonald Garber Broadcasting has launched Classic Country “Star Country 106.7” WSRT Gaylord/Traverse City MI.

Focusing on Country hits of the 80s through early 2000s with core artists including Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Trisha Yearwood, and George Strait, the new format creates an FM competitor to Midwestern Broadcasting’s “WTCM Gold” 1310 WCCW Traverse City.

Original Report 9/13: MacDonald Garber Broadcasting has relaunched 106.7 WSRT Gaylord/Traverse City MI after the station had been off the air for much of the past 20 months.

WSRT is currently running a three hour loop of Christmas music as it prepares to shortly launch a new format. We have reported on domain registrations connected to the station in our 9/2 and 9/9 Domain Insight reports.

WSRT and former simulcaster 105.5 WSRJ Honor ceased operations in December 2019 “due to ongoing financial issues which have made continued operation at this time unsustainable.” Northern Broadcasting then sold the former “ESPN Northern Michigan” to MacDonald Garber Broadcasting in March 2020 for $215,000.
