Black Diamond Broadcasting has flipped Soft AC Easy 95.5 WQEZ Glen

95.5 gives a direct format competitor in Traverse City to Northern
Broadcast Rock 97.5 KLT WKLT Kalkaska/98.9 WKLZ Petoskey. WKLT/WKLZ is set
to flip to a broader music mix when Blarney Stone Broadcasting completes
its purchase of Northern Broadcast.

commercials.
