John Fredericks is expanding his media company, striking a deal to purchase 920 The Torch and five other stations in Morgantown, West Virginia.
Fredericks began operating the station, and two others in the area, earlier this year. However, he has now struck an agreement with LHTC Media for six stations and three translators in Morgantown and Fairmont for $650,000.
Other stations, besides 920 The Torch, included in the deal are 94 ROCK (WRLF-FM), Buzz 98.3 (WBKE-AM/W252EF), and 100.9 Jack-FM (WZST). The Torch is also heard on 95.7 FM, 102.7 FM, and 105.7 FM in addition to the 920 AM signal.
The stations become the latest to be grouped into Fredericks’ Disruptor Media. He also holds stations in Atlanta, Nashville, Norfolk, and Philadelphia among others.
The stations in his portfolio air his syndicated morning show from 6-10 AM ET.
