Bad news for Joel Heitkamp

KCJB and KFYR summarily dumped the Joel Heitkamp Show, the longtime top of the shortlist for public affairs programming in North Dakota.

Western North Dakota coverage can be temporarily kludged with carriage on 740 KVOX, but a western affiliate is sorely needed, especially if the show’s to be reliably heard in Williston.  The problem will be more urgent in the Fall, when Joel’s show airs mostly during the AM critical hours.
