Earlier this month, the Radigan Media Group of family-owned local radio stations got a little bit bigger. After a yearlong lease arrangement, they officially closed on the purchase of 94 Rock WLVY, Today’s Hot New Country 99.5 WOKN, and 1410 WELM. These three stations, along with their four associated FM translators, elevate Radigan Media to be the largest locally owned independent broadcast radio company in Binghamton, Elmira and Corning with 17 signals, covering over 5,000 square miles.
Radigan Media was founded in 2005, and started with the 2006 acquisition of WEBO in Owego, and followed with four FM translators between 2009 and 2018. In 2020, longtime Valley Station owner Chuck Carver retired, selling WATS/WAVR to Radigan, followed by WTTC-AM/FM in Towanda (now WTTC-FM and WTXW-AM).
On Jan. 1 of 2023, Radigan Media began operating the Elmira/Corning stations through a Lease Management Agreement, with Tower Broadcasting, which ended last week with the sale of those stations to Radigan Media.
Radigan Media’s portfolio of local broadcast stations now includes; Your Hometown Station – WEBO in Owego, N.Y. (98.5, 101.3, 105.1,107.9 FM & 1330 AM) Adult Contemporary; Choice 102 WAVR-FM in Waverly, N.Y. (102.1 FM) Classic Hits; Liberty 960 WATS in Sayre, Pa.

(99.5 FM Elmira/102.5 FM Corning) Mainstream Country; 1410 WELM in Elmira, N.Y. (1410 AM–simulcasting 94 Rock) Hot AC.
