MacDonald Garber Broadcasting Purchases WSRT-FM
WSRT is one of six stations Northern has been selling off. So far, the company has sold WKLT-FM (Kalkaska), WKLZ-FM (Petoskey) and WCFX-FM (Leland). With the sale of WSRT, Northern still retains former WSRT simulcast partner WSRJ-FM (Honor) and WFDX-FM (Atlanta), although those stations are also expected to be sold.
MacDonald Garber currently has under their umbrella WATT-AM (Cadillac), WKAD-FM (Harrietta), WKHQ-FM (Charlevoix), WLXT-FM (Petoskey), WLXV-FM (Cadillac), WMKT-AM (Charlevoix), WMBN-AM (Petoskey) and WZTC-FM (Traverse City).
Patricia MacDonald Garber filed an application with the FCC in mid-February to transfer WKAD to her son, Peter MacDonald Garber.
