From Webcaster to Broadcaster - Steppin Hits Chicago





-->
When CLUBSTEPPIN 95.1 FM launched in Chicago in August of 2018, the broadcast airwaves were taken by surprise as webcaster "LaMont Watts" turned broadcaster exposing Chicagoans to an exclusive Internet radio format called "Steppers" Music on the airwaves.  Mr. Watts and his Internet operation "CLUBSTEPPIN.com" entered into a LMA(local management agreement) with an option to buy two FM translators from Windy City Broadcasting’s, 95.1 W236CF Chicago and 95.1 W236CG Bolingbrook, IL.  The translators are fed by Spanish Broadcasting Systems’ 107.9 WLEY-HD2 Aurora. This arrangement created the opportunity for Mr. Watts and his Future Vision Entertainment media company to become the another Internet Radio stream to become a broadcast radio station.  The expenses for this history making operation include price tags for the use of the Spanish Broadcasting Systems 107.9 WLEY HD2 Aurora and both "translators" from Windy City Broadcasting which is a "hefty" leasing and equipment expense for the Internet operation to broadcast on the terrestrial radio frequency 95.1 FM.  Mr. Watts believes that the directional coverage of the "translators" (W236CG and W236CF) would be ideal for covering the south and west sides of the Chicago area where he feels that the CLUBSTEPPIN format will make an impact and turn his vision profitable. - Let's pray for the best.
