About Raycom
Raycom Media, Inc. was created in 1996
with the purchase of 15 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 one of the nation’s largest broadcasters and owns and/or operates 46 television stations in 36 markets and 18 states. Raycom stations cover 12.6% of U.S. television households and employ nearly 3,500 individuals in full and part-time positions. In addition to television stations, Raycom owns Raycom Sports (a marketing, production and events management and distribution company in Charlotte); Raycom Post (a post production facility in Burbank, California),
and Broadview Media (a post production/telecommunications company based
in Montgomery). Raycom is also responsible for the 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. It owns all television and marketing rights to Atlantic Coast Conference basketball, as well as syndicated television rights for ACC football.
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.
