Cumulus assumes programming responsibility for the stations effective today.
Cumulus is the nation s third largest broadcaster with 251 stations in 46 U.S. markets and the Caribbean. This completes our station group in Green Bay with two excellent, heritage radio stations that have served the community with distinction for many years, said Richard Weening, Cumulus Executive Chairman. During its 52-year history, the Laird properties have been continuously under Laird family control and among the leading stations in the Green Bay Radio market. Ben A. Laird operated the stations until his death in 1981. Since 1981, his son William Laird, president, has been running the stations.
