Orlando Radio Marketing Close on WBZW and Translator
RADIO ONLINE | Monday, April 13, 2020 |
Orlando Radio Marketing has closed its acquisition of 5kW Ethnic WBZW-AM and its FM translator W246DU in Orlando from Salem Communications. The buyer is headed by Sam Rogatinsky and this is his third radio station acquisition in the state of Florida. All three stations feature 24-hour Creole language programming serving the Haitian American communities in South Florida, Orlando and Tampa-St. Petersburg.
Rogatinsky has been a friend of the Haitian American community for many years, adding, "the Haitian people are very special and represent a very important segment of American culture. They are a hard-working, respectful, and ambitious community that has been overlooked for many years. It is my hope that by building community based radio stations in major Florida markets we will raise the public perception of the Haitian community in the United States. It's about time that the world recognized the amazing accomplishments of the Haitian community."
Eddie Esserman of Media Services Group's St. Simons Island office, represented the buyer in this transaction.
