Good Radio Networks LLC,doing business asGoodRadio.TV,was aWest Palm Beach, Floridabased radio ownership group headed by formerPaxpresident Dean Goodman.[1]Partners in this venture include formerNABChairman Eddie Fritz, and former founder ofNextMedia,Carl Hirsch.
GoodRadio was established in late-2006 with the purchase of six stations in Iowa. It later acquired The Shepherd Group's 8 FM and 8 AM stations, all in Missouri, in February 2007. In 2007, Good Radio had plans to acquire 200 smaller-market radio stations fromClear Channel Communications,[2][3]but the deal fell through when its financing group,American Securities Capital Partners,objected to the deal's $452 million cost.
In 2013, GoodRadio was folded into a larger holding company known asDigity, LLC,also owned by Goodman, joining a sister group of stations in West Palm under the banner West Palm Broadcasting. The reorganization came alongside Digity's purchase of NextMedia.[4]Digity was in turn acquired by Larry Wilson'sAlpha Mediain February 2016.[5]
