A letter from Brandon Forester, owner of Omega Entertainment:
As a proud alumnus of both Louisiana Tech and Ruston High, I and the station are honored to bring you the live broadcast of Bearcat Football this season. This journey started long ago, while in 1991 as a student, I recorded my first radio ad with Mrs. Loyce Miller at RHS. A lot of water under the bridge since.
In February of this year, I purchased the only locally owned and operated station in Ruston from my longtime friend and fraternity brother, Bill Brown. Bill was adamant about keeping the stations local. Locally owned, locally invested, locally involved. We love where we live and we love what we do!
Since then, we’ve upgraded the studio to an all-digital format for broadcasting, 24/7 mobile apps, live streaming, and much more. With this additional significant investment to our equipment, we are able to successfully merge, strengthen, and enhance the effectiveness of our local radio listening experience.
The easy/free App downloads for all live access, all the time, from anywhere…wherever you are, we can be there with you. Phone, tablet, dashboard, desktop, etc… The more listeners we reach, the more we can help local businesses, local nonprofit, events, festivals, and sports like the Bearcats on Q94.1 and the Jonesboro Hodge Tigers on the new Roux 102.3. Speaking of the Roux, we’re bringing back the 5th Quarter nostalgia every Friday night following our football broadcasts to air The Ruston Rec Dance show.
We’ve poured over decades of research to catalogue and play the songs that Bearcat nation partied to at the old Rec Center. You can download the Q 94.1 app by going to your app store and searching “Q941”. The Roux app can be found searching for “ROUX102”.
I’d be remiss not to thank my station crew Tootsie, Rob Tucker, “Lonesome” Loyd, Scott Howard, Larry Allen, Barry Gilliland, Chris Peddie, Rick Godley, Mike Stone, and my wife Deanna. Their dedication and hard work behind the scene has made this all possible. And last but not least, the Bearcat broadcast team of Kyle Roberts, Nick Brown, Toby Nations, and Matthew Carswell whom I consider the best broadcast team in the state. Looking forward to an exciting and successful season!
FIRMLY FOUNDED!
GO BEARCATS!
