In July 2016, Beasley entered into an agreement to acquire Greater Media and its 21 radio stations in seven markets, including four in Detroit, MI; Middlesex, NJ; Monmouth-Ocean, NJ; and Morristown, NJ and three in markets where Beasley has existing operations (Philadelphia, PA; Boston, MA; and Charlotte, NC).

Beasley intends to divest certain radio stations in Charlotte, NC to obtain FCC approval of the proposed transaction.
