Ham Broadcasting has purchased Sound Broadcast’s five stations in Madisonville, KY.
The stations involved include Rock WKTG-FM (Power Rock 93.9), Classic Country WFMW-AM and three translators W235AC-FM (94.9), W290CR-FM (105.9) and W299CN-FM (107.7).
Ham has been managing the stations through a local marketing agreement (LMA) for the past couple of months.
Beth Mann, Ham Broadcasting’s President/GM, stated that the purchase made sense geographically and aligned with the company’s core values.
In 1991, DJ and Beth Everett founded Ham Broadcasting Company by purchasing radio stations WKDZ and Country WKDZ-FM/Cadiz, KY.
After the Everetts’ passing, Beth Mann assumed ownership of the company. Since initially acquiring WKDZ and WKDZ-FM, Ham Broadcasting has expanded through the purchases of Oldies WHVO/Hopkinsville, KY, WPKY/Princeton, KY, and WEKT/Elkton, KY, and the launches of the “Your Sports Edge” and “Your Ag Edge” Networks.
