Interstate Broadcasting

Interstate Broadcasting, Inc. is a privately owned American broadcasting company owned and operated by native Roddy Frackowiak (b. 1931). It was founded in 1977 with his purchase of independent station WTIX-TV. The company is known for pioneering the hot adult album alternative radio format with it's Air-branded stations.

The company's main offices are located in with operational headquarters in.

History
After purchasing WTIX-TV from Evening News Association, Roddy Frackowiak would establish Interstate Broadcasting, Inc. to handle his current and future radio and television stations. The name of the company was part of Roddy's goal to make it the state of Illinois' flagship locally owned broadcasting company. For the next few years, Frackowick would purchase a bunch of mostly UHF TV stations and a couple of big market radio stations.

In 1992, Interstate bought the Channel 10 license of television station WBNB-TV, and returned WBNB-TV to the air, retaining WBNB's CBS affiliation in the process.

AutoRadio
Interstate uses a centralized group-wide hub called the AutoRadio System, operating several smaller-scale stations and small-market stations from one central location - with production, programming, voicetracking and playout handled from a facility adjacent to the company's main offices in Rosemont, Illinois. Stations remotely operated by the AutoRadio system include K297AX (Old School 107.3) in and KJSX (104.9 JSX) in.
