History
Stephens Media started with stations around Tulsa, Oklahoma, before expanding to other markets.
On May 1, 2008, Stephens Media announced that it would acquire WFKL, WRMM-FM, and WZNE in Rochester, New York, as a part of Entercom's purchase of stations from CBS Radio in the market.[3]
In April 2018, Ingstad Radio sold 14 of its stations in Washington to Stephens Media Group.[4]
In July 2019, it was announced that the company would acquire 37 stations from Mapleton Communications.[5] This acquisition was approved on October 9, 2019,[6] and was completed on October 15, 2019.
