Woodward Communications, Inc closes on its purchase of four radio stations in the Springfield, Illinois market that it acquired from Mid-West Family for $990,000. Those stations are news/talk WMAY-FM, AC WNNS-FM, rock WQLZ-FM and classic hits WMAY-AM, plus FM translators W273DR and W234CC. This
comes after Woodward closed on the $4.3 million acquisition of four stations in the market from Neuhoff Media last fall. From that deal, the company spun WCVS-FM to Educational Media Foundation. Woodward’s Springfield market manager Kevin O’Dea says, “All of us at Woodward Community Media look forward to the addition of the Mid-West Family stations to our lineup here in Springfield. These four stations along with our current lineup including Channell450.com and our Digital Services will allow us to enhance our local commitment to our listeners, advertising partners and the Springfield and Central Illinois Community.
