CC Bozeman

Now that the new investors of Clear Channel have made the announcement to sell a number of stations outside the larger markets, what do you suppose will happen with the Clear Channel cluster in Bozeman? Having begun my career at what was KXXL in the early 70's, I always wondered why Clear Channel would want a market like Bozeman, much less a channel like 1450. Will there be a local owner, or several local owners? Will Bee Broadcasting come in? What say you??
 
Can you say hello Marathon Media? It is rumored that Chris Devine & partner have bought the CC stations in Eastern Washington (already announced) as well as CC stations in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Duluth, MN. No official announcement yet.
 
Weren't both Marathon & Bee in Bozeman back in the 80's and 90's? I don't recall the exact stations each owned, but I think Marathon bought out Citadel and then sold to CC.

Benny Bee does have history in Bozeman as Mack knows, having spent some time with KXXL when it was owned by Empire Broadcasting.

Benny taught me a lot at 'XL. And yes, I was thinking maybe Benny might expand his operation to Bozeman. I think that
what's being mentioned about Bee Broadcasting in Bozemen in the 90's was a CP that was actually licensed to Benny's wife Coco which I believe they sold off. But I am old, and the memory isn't what it used to be!
 
J Mack is that you? I haven't heard from you in years...Where are you at...What are you up to?

Benny Bee Sr.

By the way I have made an offer on all clear channel stations..I hope they will take a check or a good game of 5 card stud!

J Mack. Are you still eating salted nut rolls before you're on the air? You lived with me a short time when you moved to Bozo. Email me.

I do not think we are the same people.
 
Oops. my bad. Had you mixed up with Charlie McBrown. Remember him? I was the guy that did mornings. Heinrich and Benny were selling, Jerry Mann was the pd...As old as I am, I've lost a brain cell from time to time. Now do you remember me?
