(FARGO) – Fargo-based Fieldstone Group has finalized the purchase of WDAY Radio from Forum Communications. The sale provision is part of a five-year management agreement signed by Fieldstone Group and Forum Communications in November 2020, and includes the AM/FM radio station, its online properties, social media accounts, and transmitter and tower site.
The sale is subject to Federal Communications Commission approval.
“We are thrilled to see this day arrive,” says Steve Hallstrom, President and Managing Partner of Fieldstone Group. “We thank the Marcil Family and the leaders and staff of Forum Communications for a great partnership these last four years. WDAY Radio has always had a tradition of serving the community with great news, weather, ag, and sports and we’ve enjoyed the journey of growing those elements with the help of our friends and partners at Forum Communications. It has been important to us, since day one, to serve the community with quality local programming from sunrise to sunset, which is becoming a rarity in our business. I also want to thank our listeners for their loyalty and the many local businesses and organizations that have trusted us with their advertising and marketing dollars.”
WDAY Radio will be operated as part of the company’s Fargo broadcast operations. It celebrated its 100th year of broadcasting in 2022.
