Wicks CBSI, formerly Custom Business Systems Incorporated, supplies business systems for radio stations. Its broadcast management software is used worldwide by more than 3,000 single and multiple stations, including consolidations and duopolies. CBSI's roots are in the broadcast industry. In 1970, brothers Jerome Kenagy and Steve Kenagy bought a radio station on the Oregon coast and operated it for 10 years. Chief Engineer Wes Lockard joined the station in 1973, followed by brother John Kenagy in 1976. All four are actively involved in CBSI today. In 1977, Lockard wrote their first program log. At that time, a computer could do a day's work assembling logs in just an hour. Today, CBSI systems do a much more complex log assembly in just eight to 15 seconds. Wicks CBSI sold its first software system in 1978 and has steadily increased its visibility in the market since then, expanding in 1998 with the addition of Digital Universe, an audio management system. The firms firsts include preloading of station data, nonbroadcast billing features, and a co-op billing system.
