Sold in Fargo

Red River Broadcasting is being bought out by Forum Communications.

Red River has two stations: KQDS in Duluth, MN and KVRR in Fargo, ND.

Forum owns the local paper, the Duluth News Tribune, and WDAY in Fargo.

In other words, Forum Communications will control the ad rates and the message to the people of Fargo.

There was a day and time that something like this would not be allowed by the FCC.

Some would call that the better days.

And by “some” that is me.

The fact that a single ownership group can have so much control over one market is great for them, but not so great for the people it is supposed to serve.

Just my opinion….
