Virtual News Center Adds KIQX, KTOQ, KXMZ and KSQY

Virtual News Center

Virtual News Center adds KIQX, KTOQ, KXMZ and KSQY to its list of affiliate stations. These stations serve Rapid City, SD, and are owned by Haugo Broadcasting. Virtual News Center will provide local newscasts anchored by Mark Wilson.

"I don't need to tell Radio people that Radio has changed. More stations and less staff, especially in smaller markets. One thing that hasn't changed for us is our commitment to be local and serve the community. Virtual News Center has allowed us to do that while still keeping an eye on the balance sheet. We can still deliver daily, local news, do it economically and also generate sponsorship revenue. If any broadcaster wants to provide local content, professionally delivered, then Virtual News Center is a definite option," said Haugo Broadcasting General Manager Ted Peiffer.

"Ted used Virtual News Center when he was running the stations in Gillette, and we are grateful that he sees the value to bring us to Rapid City," added Virtual News Center CEO Joel Dearing.
