In an interview, Cities 92.9 station manager, Catrina Peterson, said "that they are simply providing coverage that serves as a necessary counter to the liberal bias they see in the established local media outlets, which include a newspaper and two other news radio stations," Gowen writes, adding that Peterson is also a self-professed QAnon supporter.
Gowen summarizes some of Cities 92.9 activism, such as organizing a Jan. 6 bus trip dubbed, “Stop the Steal”, defending a Nazi salute at a school board meeting, and involvement in a festival where a Marine attendee called for revolution, saying, “Violence is always the answer.”
"Suess has been one of the chief defenders of the station locally, saying that it broadcasts a wide range of views. He said that the station had not covered the Jan. 6 bus trip as a news event and that he was unaware it had organized protests, then covered them," Gwen notes.
