About Raycom
Raycom Media, Inc. was created in 1996
with the purchase of 12 television stations, two radio stations, and
a sports marketing, production, events management, and distribution
company. Shortly after this first acquisition, Raycom Media quickly
acquired two other companies and began an unheard of growth in the
media business.
Raycom, an employee-owned company, is
now one of the nation’s largest broadcasters and currently owns and/or operates
42 television stations in 18 states. Raycom stations cover more than 10.6% of U.S. television households and employ
3500 individuals in full and part-time positions. Raycom Media
businesses go beyond just broadcasting and include event management,
distribution of syndicated television programming, information
systems support, and design and hosting of
Alabama's Robert Trent
Jones Golf Trail website.
The company, through Raycom Sports, owns and operates the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte and the LPGA Longs Drugs Challenge in San
Francisco. It owns all television and marketing rights to Atlantic Coast Conference basketball, as well as syndicated television rights for ACC football and Southeastern Conference football and basketball.
With
a strong belief in community, Raycom Media television stations take
editorial positions on key community issues. It is the vision of the
company that it be involved in the communities its broadcast
properties serve. By editorializing on local issues and seeking out
divergent points of view, Raycom Media television stations create an
atmosphere of community dialog.
Raycom Media is headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama.
