QUINCY â The acquisition of stations owned by Quincy Media Inc., parent company of WGEM-TV/FM/AM, by Gray Television closed.
Atlanta-based Gray announced Monday that the $925 million acquisition was completed, as well as the sale of 10 QMI stations in the seven Gray/QMI overlap markets to Allen Media Group.
In February, QMI announced shareholder approval for the companyâs television and radio properties.
Gray announced in April that it would sell former QMI stations based in Tucson, Ariz.; Madison Wis.; Carbondale, Ill., Waterloo, Iowa; LaCrosse, Wis., Wausau, Wis., and Rockford to Allen Media Group to facilitate regulatory approval.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Justiceâs Antitrust Division announced it would require Gray and QMI to divest 10 stations in seven markets as a condition of resolving a challenge to Grayâs acquisition.
QUINCY â The Quincy Herald-Whig and Hannibal Courier-Post have been sold to Phillips Media Group LLC, headquartered in Arkansas. The sale is expected to close with Phillips becoming the new owner on Monday, March 1.
The announcement was made by Quincy Media Inc. President and CEO Ralph M. Oakley and Phillips Media Group President Jim Holland in a news release Friday. The sale ends the almost 95 years of publishing The Herald-Whig by Quincy Media Inc., which changed its name from Quincy Newspapers Inc. in 2016. QMI purchased the Hannibal Courier-Post in 2019.
âThe newspaper business is changing dramatically,â Oakley said in the release. âThat, along with our decision to leave the media business entirely is the driving force in this decision.â
