Listeners in Indiana who want to catch up on ag news now have two new affiliate radio stations to tune to in Fort Wayne, IN. Both 1250-AM and 102.9-FM are offering Brownfield’s comprehensive daily farm radio program at 5:45 am and 1:25 pm Monday through Friday. Brownfield says the shows will address local issues within the northeast Indiana market:
Station President Lloyd B. Roach will host The Fort Wayne Farm Show targeting farmers in northeast Indiana. Roach hosted The Chester County Farm Show for nine years on his radio station WCOJ-1420-AM in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Roach says because he grew up on a 280-acre dairy farm, he has “real insight” into what farmers need in the way of daily information.
In addition to agribusiness news, markets, weather and feature programming provided by Brownfield, The Fort Wayne Farm Show will include locally generated news and commentary.
WGL-FM-102.9 operates 24 hours a day with 6,000 watts. WGL-AM-1250 operates 24 hours a day with 2,500 watts and has served Fort Wayne continuously since 1923.
