Horizon Broadcasting is firing up a new news/talk station in the Spokane-Coeur d’ Alene market on KBNW at 107.1 FM and KSBN at 1230 AM. The company says that 107.1 FM | 1230 AM News Radio KBNW is being led by Keith Shipman, who has served as president & CEO of the Washington State Association of Broadcasters for the past decade and Roger Nelson, a Spokane broadcaster who’s served with the KXLY Broadcast Group and Phase 3 Digital. Shipman says, “Local broadcasting is at its best when it informs, connects and serves the community. Our goal is to provide timely, relevant information that keeps the Spokane-Coeur d’Alene metropolitan area well informed, whether it’s breaking news, traffic slowdowns, severe weather or the stories shaping our region each day.” Nelson adds, “After more than 25 years in Spokane broadcasting, I’ve seen how important live and local news is when people need it most. News Radio KBNW is built to be present at the start and end of every weekday, delivering reliable information people can depend on, along with engaging and entertaining talk programs the rest of the broadcast day.”  The two say the news staff will consist of Steve Wilke, Joe Paisley, Erich Ebel and Scott Carlon.  Talk programs will include: Dave Ramsey, Mike Gallagaher, Lars Larson, and Armstrong & Getty.
