WCUB-AM, WLTU-FM acquired by Seehafer

Date:2015/10/26 11:58:58 Hits:
After decades as rivals, four radio stations in the Manitowoc-Two Rivers broadcast market will now be under the ownership of one company.

The Federal Communication Commission has approved the sale of WCUB-AM and WLTU-FM from Cub Radio, Inc., of Manitowoc, to Seehafer Broadcasting Corporation of Manitowoc, owner of WOMT-AM and WQTC-FM.

The transaction will become official Nov. 1.

The stations have a long history as competitors in the Lakeshore area. WOMT (1240-AM) began operating in 1926 and will celebrate its 90th year of broadcasting in 2016. WCUB (980-AM) first hit the air in 1952. WLTU (92.1-FM) went on the air in 1966, followed by WQTC (102.3-FM) in 1977.

Seehafer Broadcasting now owns all six stations licensed to Manitowoc County. In August, the company acquired Two Rivers station WEMP (98.9-FM), which began operations last December. In 2009, it purchased WLKN (98.1-FM) in Cleveland.

For the last 40 years, the local radio market has been under the leadership of Don Seehafer and Lee Davis, both members of the Wisconsin Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Seehafer purchased WOMT in 1970 and WQTC in 1982. Davis became part-owner of WCUB/WLTU in 1975 and became the sole owner in 1988.

Mark Seehafer is now president and general manager of Seehafer Broadcasting.

Seehafer Broadcasting also own four stations in central Wisconsin; WFHR (1320-AM) and WLJY (105.5-FM) in Wisconsin Rapids, and WDLB (1450-AM) and WOSQ (92.3-FM) in Marshfield.
