Their building on Richwood Road has been used for broadcast operations since when the station was first aired to lakes area residents. During the meeting, Leighton said he was unsure about the future of their old building, which could be used for storage, or demolished, to alleviate the maintenance costs for the building's upkeep. He said the move to the new Randolph Road building will be a process since they have to construct the new radio tower, and remodel the building's interior for broadcast, before any staff, or operations, can be relocated.

The progress comes after the Detroit Lakes Planning Commission recommended approval to the city council for a variance, and rezoning, on their new property during a May 27 meeting. The plan included the installation of a new foot broadcast tower on the west side of the building. Written By: Michael Achterling am, Jun. Suggested Articles. Jeff Leighton, general manager of Leighton Broadcasting, said the new facility will be "state of the art" and give their more than 20 full-time staff members additional space to work.

The new facility on Randolph Road also will include a new foot broadcast tower on the west side of the building to relay transmissions to their foot tower, which will remain at their Richwood Road property.
Detroit Lakes Planning Commission members on May 27 recommended approval for a variance that would allow for a foot set back for the new tower instead of the required 1-foot setback for each foot of tower. They also recommended rezoning the property from B-3, auto-oriented business, to I-1, a light industrial district, which would allow for the new tower's construction and the building's remodel.
