Community Broadcasters, in partnership with Northwood Ventures, currently owns and operates 16 signals in upstate New York as well as 16 radio stations, 7 translators and 3 TV construction permits located in South Carolina. The purchase from Apex Broadcasting brings Community Broadcasters’ total holdings to 46 signals.

“We established Community Broadcasters in 2006 with the vision to become the voice for the community. Our stations are considered great places to work and we look forward to supporting the staff, listeners and Ft. Walton Beach communities in every way,” says Jim Leven.

“This purchase furthers our vision to grow a small-market radio group in strategic locations throughout the U.S.  These Apex stations have an impressive listenership reaching approximately 50% of the population in the Destin/Ft. Walton Beach market. That certainly made this purchase very attractive,” adds Bruce Mittman.

“We look forward to Community Broadcasting continuing the excellent products and locally focused work Apex has put in place over the last few years. This is a great area and we know Jim and Bruce will be important contributors to the local community in the years ahead,” said Dean Pearce, President of Apex Broadcasting, Inc.
