John and Anita Fredericks’ Disruptor Radio LLC is acquiring LHTC Media’s six stations and three translators in Morgantown and Fairmont WV for $650,000.
The acquisition expands the deal originally agreed to in January where Fredericks began operating three of the station and three of the translators as Conservative Talk “The Torch“. A new LMA has taken effect giving the company operations of the entire cluster until closing.
The stations involved in the deal are: Classic Rock “94 Rock” 94.3 WRLF Fairmont, Oldies “Buzz 98.3” 1490 WBKE Fairmont/98.3 W252EF Morgantown, Variety Hits “100.9 Jack-FM” WZST Westover, and the aforementioned “Torch” on 920 WMMN Fairmont/95.7 W239CM Morgantown, 102.7 WGYE Mannington/Fairmont/103.9 W280FF Morgantown, and 105.7 WHTI Salem/Clarksburg.
Fredericks also owns Conservative Talk stations heard in Richmond, Lynchburg, and Norfolk VA, Atlanta GA, Nashville TN, and Philadelphia and Latrobe PA. Fredericks hosts a syndicated morning show heard on all the Talk stations.
LHTC Media originally acquired four of the stations in 2016 for $700,000 and then added WGYE/WHTI/W280FF in 2023 for $190,000.
