Bought & Told:
JVC Media has purchased the four-station Community/Ft. Walton Beach, FL cluster, including Country WHWY. EVP Shane Reeve will oversee the integration and will be responsible for staffing and operations. “The prior ownership was committed to community service on the Emerald Coast, high quality broadcasting and creating an excellent work environment for its staff, and we will continue that work,” says CEO John Caracciolo. No immediate staffing changes have been announced. A Nielsen Audio diary market, Ft. Walton Beach’s most recent ratings period for Spring 2020 (3/27-6/17) saw WHWY post a 6.1 (2t) ahead of Cumulus WYZB’s 2.8 (6t) (CAT 7/27/20).
