KSTP-AM is one of Minnesota's oldest and formerly most successful radio stations. By the 90's, it had been mostly forgotten, as fans flocked to FM. While music fans enjoyed the stereophonic sounds on the other side of the dial, a new form of radio program began to emerge. Before long, talk radio flourished across the United States, and nowhere was it strong than at “The Talk Station.” Fueled by a desire to shake up the radio landscape, Hubbard Broadcasting's Ginny Morris took charge of the station and hired a new set of voices in the Twin Cities to break up the status quo. It was an eclectic cast of characters, and none of them were more unique than Tommy Mischke. Left to his own devices and given the keys to a late night kingdom, the renegade broadcaster blazed his own path. Hear from his colleagues and managers to get the inside story about what made The Mischke Broadcast one of Minnesota's favorite radio shows, it's legacy and why it's a show that could only happen here.Today, Tommy Mischke might be known as a podcaster and book author, but long before that he known by Twin Cities radio fans as only “The Phantom Caller.” This documentary was produced Kyle Shiely and edited by Julie Censullo. Hear more classic Mischke bits at MischkeMadness.com and keep up with Tommy at the Mischke Roadshow, available wherever you get your podcasts. Find more of Kyle's work at kyleshiely.com.

When television was a brand new technology, it's hard to explain the level of curiosity, skepticism and excitement over the hazy black and white images on what was a very small screen. Television is simply part of the fabric of our lives today, but back in the 1940s, television was considered a novelty for most Americans. 75 years ago on April 27, 1948, Twin Cities residents watched the first day of programming on KSTP-TV. It was Minnesota's first commercial television station. There was a lot of build-up to that inaugural broadcast and because it was such a pivotal chapter in Minnesota broadcast history, we wanted to talk more about it with Glenn Griffin, the archivist for Hubbard Broadcasting in the Twin Cities. The Hubbard family owns KSTP TV and other broadcast outlets. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke to Griffin about the history of the station.

The latest InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.fm, expands on the Radio + Television Business Report's coverage on October 6 of how a radio or television company should act when one of its high-profile employees becomes the subject of allegations that not only harm the individual, but could also damage the station they are associated with.The topic is today a big one, largely due to claims offered by three women who once worked with a Chicago-based morning show host employed by Hubbard Broadcasting. One of the women is a former co-host who exited in December 2020.Allegations are just that, claims. But, a radio or TV station can't just sit there while its employee is tarnished through social media and, quite frankly, the crosstown linear media competition.What's the first best act a station's management should take?Scott McIntyre, a partner in the labor and employment practice at the law firm of BakerHostetler, joins us from its Cincinnati office to answer this and other timely questions in an interview with RBR+TVBR Editor-in-Chief Adam R Jacobson.

This weeks episode I am joined by Brad Lane. Brad is a radio nerd like myself and was formerly the Program Director and Creative Director for Hubbard Broadcasting in The Twin Cities. He hired me as an overnight producer and board op back in the day and has some great stories about breaking into the radio business. For his inaugural JAWGPOD appearance I think he crushed it and I think you will really enjoy this one. We left plenty of meat on the bone for future episodes as well.

Keith grew up in a Chicago suburb and attended college at Drake University when he landed his fist internship in radio at KISS FM in Chicago. Since then, Keith finished school and moved to Cincinnati where he worked on a radio show that was heard in 15 different cities, daily. He got tired working for a large radio company and found an amazing job at Hubbard Broadcasting in Minneapolis, where he worked for 5 years. While in radio, Keith got to meet & hang out with big names like, 50 Cent, Nick Leshay, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Rob Thomas, Jewel and his date to the company Christmas party one year was the cast of the Real World Las Vegas!. He fell in love, got a Bernese Mountain dog named Roxy, got married, and then Keith and his wife decided to open a doggy daycare in 2008… That was an instant success, and in 2011 they took another leap and opened Bubbly Paws which is a self-service dog washing/grooming salon which now has 3 (and growing) locations in the Minneapolis area. The focus of both businesses was to make sure they provided and amazing service, but also gave back to the pet community. Keith and his wife are actively involved in the day to day operations of each business, and they now have a 13 month old son! Not feeling completely fulfilled in his radio career, Keith decided to take a leap of faith into something new. From radio DJ to business owner, him and his wife have made it successfully in the entrepreneur world. “In radio, we would pre-record each episode. Basically all that did for me, was teach me how to be a great liar and BS my way through each day.” Like many others who have dreams to start their own business, Keith’s biggest fear was failure. But with a year full of strategic planning, they finally decided to quit their mundane jobs and open a doggy daycare! Keith and his wife are the epitome of entrepreneurs. They first THOUGHT and VISUALIZED their dream, took MASSIVE ACTION even before they were ready, and finally made a dream their reality. “Writing my first rent check for $10,000 especially during the recession and only having one client was scary, but you just need to do it!” Having no idea where the business would take them today, they both still took the leap of faith, knowing there had to be more to live then their previous situation. Becoming insane with their marketing and advertising ideas, the doggy daycare has been mentioned even through Fed Ex’s National campaign and QuickBooks! “We didn't just want to open a business, we wanted to give back and have fun with it!” As we all know, having a successful business means having A1 customer service. Keith’s doggy day care has blown competitors out of the water, with their love for the customer and their pets (of course). With the natural drive for money, Keith’s passion has paid off, and then some!
