Under Bob's management, MFRN became the second largest regional farm radio network in the country. It grew into several sub-stations, and began broadcasting in its own station in Milan, Michigan in 1976.[citation needed] Pat Driscoll led the station for several years, until the Driscolls sold the network to Saga Communications in 2000.Bob and Pat Driscoll were long-term members of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters and held seats on that organization's Board of Directors and its various committees.
