On June 6, 2014, one of the nation’s largest broadcast television station groups acquired three licensees in an all-stock deal — Grant Broadcasting, Communications Corporation of America and White Knight Broadcasting.

Because of local ownership limits, three stations were sold to a newly formed entity led by a minority owner known for his 21-year stint as GM of a small Gary, Indiana AM targeting the African-American community and, concurrently, as the Group Publisher of the Los Angeles Wave Publications Group since June 1998.
