Digio Strategies, a radio group which owns six radio stations and a digital company, based in Mississippi and Alabama, is merging with Darkhorse Press. Therese Apel, owner of Darkhorse Press will make her return to radio news on US 96.3, Mix 98.7, 93.5 The Legend and Blues 93.1 on Monday, August 5 at 6am with morning news updates at 6, 7 and 8am. She will also provide breaking news coverage to the 6-station cluster, including Y101 and 102.1 The Box.

These two local, family-owned businesses have been bringing news and entertainment to the local communities, and will now pack double the punch every single day.

"I'm honored to be taking my decades of experience in journalism and joining forces with some of the most respected talent in the radio and media industry in Mississippi," said Apel. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grow in a way that keeps us authentic, local, and Mississippi-centric while enabling us to bring you the news and stories that you want to see and hear with much more momentum."

"We are building our business for continued success for decades to come and by adding one of the most respected journalists to our team, this helps solidify our position in our state," said Digio Strategies General Manager Kelly Crocker.

"We were searching for more ways to serve our local community and by adding Therese and Darkhorse Press, we are accomplishing that goal. When most companies are replacing local talent with automation or national services, we are continuing to build our local team to better serve and be an even more trusted source of news, information and entertainment," said Digio Strategies Operations Manager Jan Michaels.

Darkhorse Press, Mississippi's Hometown News Source, will continue to operate as another tool in Digio Strategies' toolbox with Apel at the helm. Making a return will be the popular police ride along series, "Front Lines," which will feature first-hand on-the-ground looks at local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies as they protect Mississippians around the state.

"The goal of Darkhorse Press has always been to bring you fair, unbiased news with integrity. I can't even express how God's hand has led this partnership and how unmistakeable He's been throughout these talks," added Apel. "We look forward to many years, and we want to give Him all the glory for all He's done to bring us to this point and beyond."
