Jackson County Broadcasting Acquires Chillicothe Trio - RadioInsight

The Alan Stockmeiser led Jackson County Broadcasting is continuing its growth in southeastern Ohio with the acquisition of three stations from companies held by Gerald Davis for $750,000. Jackson County Broadcasting will acquire Crystal Communications' Corp.'s Country "100.9 Cash-FM" WXIZ and...

"Jackson County Broadcasting will acquire Crystal Communications’ Corp.’s Country “100.9 Cash-FM” WXIZ and Southern Gospel 660 WXIC/95.9 W240DZ Waverly and Piketon Communications’ CHR “Q100” 100.1 WXZQ Piketon. The deal includes the land where WXIC and WXIZ’s towers are located."

I wonder what this means for the local content on WXIC AM 660/95.9 W240DZ - WXIC still runs live and local announcers during the day time hours on the AM Southern Gospel format. 100.9 Cash FM and Q100 are both "satellite" format.
 
The purchase was approved by the FCC and WXIC, WXIZ and WXZQ are all now under the control of Jackson County Broadcasting (DBA. Total Media). The biggest change is now all 3 Waverly stations are web streaming and 100.9 WXIZ is simulcasting Pure Rock 98.7's coverage of Ohio State Football.
 
First format change in Waverly is coming according to Radio Insight

Total Media already killing off formats down there. Not shocked I wonder if they will flip this to “Pure Rock” like it's sister 98.7 and 105.5 (They flipped 105.5 in Athens from a long time HotAC format after taking over and put Pure Rock on it) It would not shock me if they did this to 100.9 – When Total Media took over in the fall, they simulcasted Ohio State football on 100.9 with 98.7.
 
Depends on your definition of what JJ Hale means when he says he's "bringing a fresh, new, legendary sound to Pike and Ross County."
How "legendary" will it be?:unsure: Just over 3 hours until the reveal! [As of this post]

Call me impressed - Hank did a "live broadcast" this past weekend from the Dogwood Festival in Piketon! they broadcasted live on Friday evening 4pm-7pm and even aired a portion of the opening ceremonies on Hank!

Kudos to Total Media "trying" to be more than just a computer in a closet.
