Lancaster Online reports that a California-based Christian radio-station chain plans to expand its southcentral Pennsylvania presence by purchasing Manheim-based WROZ-FM FUN 101.3 for $1.7 million.
Joe Miller of the Educational Media Foundation said, "We have been well received in the Harrisburg area over 92.1 FM and were excited by the wider coverage offered on WROZ," which also covers Lancaster and York, said Miller, vice president of signal development. "We look forward to serving the area."
The nonprofit foundation, based in Rocklin, California, operates nearly 500 FM stations in the country. The agreement to buy WROZ from Hall Communications was disclosed in a license-transfer application filed Tuesday with the Federal Communications Commission.
WROZ's program director and brand manager, Ronnie Ramone, posted on his LinkedIn page that "our team (me included) will be looking for new career opportunities" as a result of the impending sale.
