Maryland Saves Pennsylvania News
• Radio PA, the state news and information network covering all-things-Pennsylvania like a warm blanket has a new owner — Maryland Media One, LLC, the owner of the Maryland News Network, will take over operations on April 16.
“With the announcement of Radio PA closing its network in April, I was concerned with the affiliates that would lose content they rely on daily,” said Steve Clendenin, President & CEO of Baltimore-based Maryland Media One. “I immediately explored options to assume the operations in Pennsylvania to keep the network alive.”
Maryland Media One already operates one state network, Maryland News Network, which serves 35 affiliates. “I am a firm believer in the state network broadcast model,” Clendenin explained. “However, like all aspects in radio broadcasting, the model needs to be flexible. Radio PA’s future depends on the ability to super-serve our affiliates and advertisers that need to reach the entire state and our model allows for that.”
Radio PA’s current affiliates will continue to receive uninterrupted content delivery during the transition phase and will continue operating from its HQ in Harrisburg, PA. To contact Maryland Media One, LLC, call 410-454-0020 x700 or email steve.clendenin@mdnewsnetwork.net.
