Nassau’s 1490 WEMJ Targets Local Tourism with the Launch of “Visitor Information Radio 1490 AM”

Laconia, NH – Nassau Broadcasting announced today that it had launched an exciting new format and venture on its station WEMJ 1490 AM in Laconia, New Hampshire. On November 1, 2005 and with the support of the Greater Laconia/Weirs Beach Chamber Of Commerce, WEMJ became the region's first "Visitor Information Radio 1490 AM".

This new radio station will feature vignettes aimed at the area’s lucrative tourist industry. Visitors arriving into the Lakes Region will find out about the area’s restaurants, shopping, hotels, tourist attractions, resorts, area history and more.

WEMJ will offer National and local news twice an hour, and local weather every ten minutes.

Speaking about the concept of the new format, Nassau Broadcasting’s Market Manager for the Lakes Region, Robert Fulmer said, “The new Visitor Information Radio 1490 AM presents a unique opportunity for the local advertising community. For the first time ever, there will be a radio station speaking directly to the significant number of tourists visiting our area each year. Local businesses that cater to tourists, or are interested in attracting tourists will have a clear and powerful voice to carry their message. We expect Visitor Information Radio to become a strong ally in supporting this important part of the Lakes Region’s economy.”

Nassau Broadcasting also operates Lakes Region Stations 98.3 WLNH, 93.3 The Wolf, Oldies 104.9, and 102.3/101.5 The Hawk.
