DARREL PETERS is the former owner of Chicago (WCBR-FM 92.7) and Milwaukee (WFMR-FM 98.3) radio stations. Peters sold WCBR in 1998 for a record amount. He was founder of the "FM 100 Plan", a national radio syndication company specializing in "beautiful music", that cleared over 262 markets on some of the best radio stations across America including such giants as KOST-Los Angeles, FM100-Chicago, WWJ-Detroit, WSB-Atlanta, and WWL-New Orleans. He eventually sold the company to one of his competitors, Bonneville International, and stayed on as their highly active consultant for 10 years. Peters was VP/General Manager of FM100 in Chicago. Under his leadership, FM100was the #1 rated FM station for nine years running. Peters graduated from Northwestern University and got his start in broadcasting as a host on WAIT, WGN Radio and "NBC Monitor"/WMAQ in Chicago. Always the visionary, in the pre-FM days of the 1960’s, Peters sensed that the FM band would eventually flourish. As a young entrepreneur fresh out of college, Peters leased out blocks of radio station airtime on a then all but nonexistent FM band (93.9, now top rated WLIT-FM in Chicago). He programmed, hosted, developed advertising packages, and creatively sold-out all the commercial avails. His programs were so successful; he eventually leased out the entire radio station.
