“Metsa is a great storyteller and listener, and his experience as one of our most–traveled troubadours lends weight to his interviews and off-the-cuff asides. Good stuff, all fueled by Iron Range native Metsa’s seemingly infinite curiosity and boundless love for Minnesota”

— Jim Walsh, MinnPost

Like his Wall of Power Radio Hour that has aired weekly on AM 950 since 2014, it will feature "cool people from all walks of life" with a focus on the arts, music, events, and vibrant business scene in the Twin Ports (Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin), Iron Range, and North Shore.

The show features live music, NE Minnesota historical anecdotes, interviews with natives, and folks coming to town, or just passing through, and much more. Stars Over the Prairie is live-streamed and available as a podcast. It’s an exciting and fresh addition to the radio dial as it broadcasts from "The Zenith City by the Unsalted Sea."

About Paul Metsa’s Wall of Power (Radio and TV)

The Metsa Experience - an avid radio “geek,” the opportunity to get behind a studio microphone was an early part of Metsa’s performing career up north on the Iron Range in Virginia, Minnesota. The man with a 1,000 stories has reached thousands of listeners and WILL reach thousands of viewers. Advertising on Paul Metsa’s Wall of Power promises a positive and involved environment for your message. There is nothing casual about a Metsa audience except for the clothes! Viewers will be engaged and driven by the marketing muscle of an established broadcast personality who has 5,000 Facebook friends, over 4,500 Metsa e-mail subscribers, an established radio show, and who makes weekly personal appearances in the Twin Ports region (Duluth, MN and Superior, WI) and regular appearances throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and beyond.

Advertising on Wall of Power will assure you of making a direct and significant impact on potential customers. Radio and Cable TV advertising reaches consumers when they are the least distracted and actively paying attention. Radio’s impact can be found in the emotional and motivational power of audio - or the voice - that voice is Paul Metsa. And that voice and video presence carries over to the power of cable TV.

Cable TV is an affordable mass-market media costing a fraction of other local media. Let us put together a marketing package that fits your needs, your budget, and puts the Wall of Power to work for you.

Your ad dollars help support culture, community, history, and small business. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Sincerely, Paul Metsa
