Farm Journal Media Acquires DairyLine Radio Network

RADIO ONLINE | Friday, November 11, 2016

Farm Journal Media has agreed to acquire "DairyLine" from HFW Communications. On the air for over 20 years, the program is regarded as the dairy industry's premiere radio voice. Airing nationally on nearly 60 stations, "DairyLine" has strong coverage across all dairy producing regions in the U.S., including Wisconsin, California and New York.

"'DairyLine's' reach and reputation within the industry make it the perfect platform to expand our dairy news coverage into radio," said VP/Publishing Director Cliff Becker. "The radio show adds a megaphone for our respected team of dairy journalists led by Mike Oppermann, Editor of MILK, and Jim Dickrell, Editor of Dairy Herd Management, to tell the stories that have an impact on dairies across the country." Veteran broadcaster Mike Adams, host of Farm Journal's "AgriTalk," will become the host of "DairyLine."

"DairyLine" is the latest addition in a growing portfolio of Farm Journal national radio programs, including "AgriTalk" with Mike Adams, "Market Rally" with Chip Flory and "American Countryside" with Andrew McCrea. Along with network affiliates, each program is available on-demand via the Farm Journal Radio digital app.
