Educational Media Foundation is purchasing WFLO AM and FM in Farmville, VA from Colonial Broadcasting for $750,000. With this sale Coloniol exits radio. Both the buyer and seller were represented by Jon Yinger of Broadcast Properties.
Colonial Broadcasting’s WFLO-AM went on the air in 1947 (1,000 watts/ Daytimer). WFLO-FM (50,000 watts) went on air in 1961. Billed for many years as “Your Full Service Hometown Radio Station” in the Heart of Virginia, WFLO AM/FM has provided a variety of musical formats along with locally produced specials, local news, sports and weather.
President/GM and principal owner, Francis Wood, a broadcasting veteran of more than fifty years said, “It has been an honor to have served the public through this unique medium for so many years. I can hardly imagine my world without it, But it’s time to move on.”
How sad! That community is probably losing its only local radio service to those greedy, phony Christian scam artists from California. Never mind the big city pirates…EMF has to be stopped, broken up, and scattered to the wind!
