The stations have been owned by members of the Hearst family since sign-on, with WWCH launching in 1960 and the FM added in 1985. Current owner Bill Hearst acquired the company from his parents in 1978 and is expected to issue a news release on the transition in the near future.
The sale terms were missing from the FCC filing.
WCCR-FM and WWCH-AM will join Seven Mountains’ 101.3 WKFT Strattanville in serving the Clarion area. WKFT simulcasts “Bigfoot Country” 102.1 WIFT DuBois.
The purchase is pending FCC approval.
Seven Mountains Media has a variety of stations and formats in State College, Lewistown, Wellsboro, Dubois, Selinsgrove, Olean NY, Elmira NY, York, Stroudsburg, and Wilkes-Barre.
According to Seven Mountains Media website, “The radio that (the community) loved (has) slowly been replaced with programming and disc jockeys shot in from a satellite, the same songs over and over, and a lack of engaging local content. Listeners deserve more.
“We have a group of 25 hand-crafted radio brands across 67 signals and a team of creative people that are driven to make the type of local content that our communities crave. We connect with our listeners, on-air, on-site, and online.”
