KPRK changing format

Livingston radio station KPRK's famous "Swap Shop" morning program is going off the air.

[Ranger the Radio guy]

As a former kprk radio employee I now understand that GAP broadcasting has thrown away the classic rock format and is now a news, talk format simulcasting from Bozeman which is kmms am. Having read the reason for the change from a G M of the stations in Bozeman , I can tell you it is nothing but $$$$ that made the change, most of the money from kprk was always funneled to help pay the salaries of Bozeman and very little was left for the employees of kprk!! to add insult , all they have to do now is flip a switch and not pay any live radio jock, they also terminated at least 3 to five employees , 2 in Bozeman and the guy in Livinston!! I wonder if any top management took a pay cut, or any of the owners at Gap ... oh ..by the way. KPRK 1340 AM IS FOR SALE in Livingston,Mt. at last report it was a asking price of 400,000 $. Is it worth it ? No, 250,000 maybe if music and news and sports along with some one on air who had personality and the vision to split the radio station in half and call it the kprk radio flyer diner, order a biurger and and request a song!! that is what the listeners are getting from the Gm and GAP broadcasting... a song and dance.. bottom line is money , why now, why not when talk was hot ,really hot during the election of the presidency, people, don"t believe any thing you hear from the media top dogs ,they are saving thier own ass first.. I tell like it is.. Ranger the Radio guy and former KPRK 1340 AM employee,maybe some one has the money to buy it and a brain to run it right, I know Bozeman management or the regional manager does not.
