Centennial Broadcasting II, LLC, President and CEO Allen Shaw, announced Wednesday Centennial has reached an agreement to acquire WGRQ-FM (95.9) and WGRX-FM (104.5) from Telemedia Broadcasting, Inc. and long-time Fredericksburg, VA radio station owner Carl Hurlebaus. The acquisition expands Centennial’s presence in the Fredericksburg market, positioning the company with a strong multi-station platform and enhanced capabilities for serving local listeners and advertisers.
Centennial will add the operations of WGRQ and WGRX into Centennial’s existing cluster, which includes market leader WBQB-FM and WFVA-AM. The deal is expected to close later this year, pending FCC approval.
“The addition of WGRQ-FM and WGRX-FM to our WBQB-FM and WFVA-AM platform marks an important step in Centennial’s growth strategy,” Allen Shaw, President and CEO of Centennial Broadcasting, stated in a press release.
“With their strong community presence and loyal audiences, these stations present a unique opportunity to build on a rich tradition while reinforcing our commitment to the Fredericksburg market — delivering exceptional value to advertisers, engaging our listeners, and serving Fredericksburg and its surrounding communities.”
