Cat Country Leaves Larger Footprint

• Cumulus Media has expanded the reach of its popular Cat Country 96 audio brand, as it launched simulcasts of WCTO (Cat Country 96)/Allentown, PA, on two sister stations in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market: 93.7 WSJR (formerly NASH 93.7 FM) and 95.7 WBHD-FM (which had been simulcasting Top 40 sister WBHT/Wilkes Barre).

To review: Cat Country programming can now be heard on 96.1 in Allentown, at 93.7 and 95.7 in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market, and serving the Poconos via 107.1 WWYY/Belvidere, NJ.

“This is an exciting day for all of us,” said Jerry Padden, Operations Manager of Cat Country 96. “We are thrilled to bring the Cat Country brand to Northeast PA, making our listener community and station bigger and better than ever. We can’t wait to hear from our new listeners!”

The Cat Country lineup features Sam Malone in mornings, Kristy O’Brien in middays, and Jerry Padden in afternoon drive.
