Customer Profile — Leighton Broadcasting

Linn Hodgson doesn't have your average perspective on the business he's in. An integral part of Leighton Broadcasting, an employee-owned North Dakota and Minnesota based network encompassing 11 AM and FM radio stations, Hodgson views his work as economic development.

"We're a marketing tool, delivering the best possible product and serving the community with news, information and quality music to cultivate a valued listener base. We then deliver that audience to an advertiser."

Started by Al Leighton, who began his broadcast career announcing high school ball games, Leighton Broadcasting has grown into a community-minded company, serving everyone from major healthcare corporations to "mom and pop" businesses and holding its place as one of the few independent broadcasters in the country.

Leighton Broadcasting invests in people and business and staying connected is essential. Integra's local sales management system has contributed to consistent outreach and set the standard for how customer service for small and mid-sized businesses should be approached.

Leighton Broadcasting can focus on its listeners and their communities and let Integra handle the details that make it all possible.

"Integra is always there - they're timely, they know all of us on a first-name basis, and they know how important each business is to its owners and employers. They do business face to face, the way it's meant to be done."
