Dakota Broadcasting Administrative and Marketing Teams
Michael Anthony
General Manager
Michael is a 30+ year veteran of broadcasting. He knew at the age of about 12 that he wanted to go into radio after listening to the Big 8 CKLW out of Detroit. His love for radio and muscle cars happened the same day when the “Big 8” was playing in his cousin’s brand new 427 69 Corvette!
Michael started his career in 1978 as on-air talent at a small-town station. He pursued an on-air career in markets around the USA, eventually becoming a Program Director and Operations Manager.
Later he hung up his headphones and went to the other side of the hallway. Michael learned sales and running stations. He managed stations in AZ, WY, WI, OH and now in Aberdeen.
Michael hopes to make Aberdeen his permanent home. He moved here with his dog Dee aka Dee-Dee the Wonder Dog Dachshund!
Devin Reints
Digital Marketing Manager – CRSM, CRMC
I’m a local boy, originally from Langford, South Dakota. I attended Langford High School and went on to the University of South Dakota where I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Contemporary Media and Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations and a second in Advertising. I also have a minor in business and leadership.
After graduation I went to KCCR and KLXS Radio in Pierre, SD to work as an Account Executive. I had a great time in Pierre, but an excellent opportunity opened up for me to come home and join Dakota Broadcasting. I now live in Aberdeen with my wife, Ashley, and daughter, Aria.
I also stay very active in the community in various organizations.
Trenia Rexinger
Traffic/Office Manager
Trenia grew up in Frederick, SD. She attended school in both Frederick and Hecla before graduating from Central in 2002 and attended Northern State University. While she has lived in the Aberdeen area most of her life, she also had a brief stint in Iowa. She has four children, three of which currently attend school in Aberdeen, with the oldest living and working in Aberdeen. Trenia is new to the music industry, but brings clerical and office work experience to Dakota Broadcasting.
Neil & Terri Lipetzky
Managing partners
I got my first job in radio in the early 80s at KXRB AM and KIOV FM in Sioux Falls. In 1991, I accepted a position as Sales Manager with Sorenson Broadcasting at their Yankton stations. I learned a lot about small-market broadcasting from the Sorenson management team lead by Dean Sorenson. In 2000, we moved to Norfolk, NE to run KNEN in Norfolk. In 2007, we partnered with Dean Sorenson and Duane Butt to form Dakota Broadcasting, LLC and began with the building of KMOM and KABD in Aberdeen. Since then, Dakota Broadcasting has grown to 13 stations with the addition of seven FM and two AM stations in northwest Iowa and an AM/FM in Jackson, MN. Today, Terri and I, along with our daughter Lisa, have our home office centrally located in Sioux Falls where we are surrounded by a very large family of kids, grandkids, parents, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.
Matt Kranzler
Senior Marketing Consultant
I was born and raised in Huron, SD. After high school, I attended Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall. There I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing and minored in Business Administration. I then called Sioux Falls home for just over a year and eventually moved to Aberdeen in 2001.
My wife Kristina and I have three kids. My boys are Caleb and Micah and my daughter is Leah. If I’m not working or at home, you will probably find me in a local hockey rink. My family and I are passionate hockey fans and spend most weekends in the bleachers cheering on our teams. I also am on the Hockey Development Committee for the Aberdeen Hockey Association. Go Cougars!
Christine Hilton
Marketing Consultant
I am a city girl turned small-town girl. I graduated from Burnsville Sr. High. After college at Mankato State University (now University of Minnesota, Mankato) I became a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines. I was with NWA for 15 years before I started my family. I moved to Aberdeen 10 years ago where we quickly became a family of seven (!) – four boys, Brayden, Hunter, Tommy and Tallon, and one girl, Caroline, the youngest. Although my husband John and I are typically on a Lacrosse field, hockey rink, or in a dance studio, we tend to spend summer weekends at the cabin or golf course. Aberdeen has been so good to us, and I look forward to making Dakota Broadcasting my new home.
