Connoisseur Selling WQCM To Family Life
• Connoisseur Media announced that it has entered into an agreement to spin off Classic Rock 94.3 WQCM-FM, licensed to Greencastle, PA (serving the Hagerstown/Chambersburg market) to Family Life Ministries, Inc. a New York non-for-profit corporation.
“We were approached by Family Life Ministries, who wanted to expand their Christian formatted radio broadcasts into the Hagerstown/Chambersburg market. We already have three other strong stations serving the market, so we were open to discussions,” said Jeff Warshaw, Founder & CEO of Connoisseur Media.
Rick Snavely, President/CEO of Family Life Ministries, Inc., commented, “Family Life is excited to expand its coverage in south central PA as WQCM will be a nice addition to our recently purchased signal in Hershey. Family Life’s programming that combines Contemporary Christian music, relevant Bible teaching, family-oriented drama, and news from a biblical worldview, has been widely received over Family Life’s 43-year history of broadcasting.”
The transaction is pending regulatory approval by the FCC and is expected to close in the last quarter of this year.
Michael J. Bergner d/b/a Bergner & Co. was the exclusive broker on the transaction. Connoisseur Media had legal representation by Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP., and Family Life Ministries was represented by Hardy, Carey, Chautin & Balkin, LLP.
