Small Market Stations Move From Allen Media to Gray

The landscape of small-market broadcasting is shifting following a recent decision by the Federal Communications Commission’s Media Bureau. In a move that consolidates regional coverage, the bureau officially approved the transfer of several prominent stations from Allen Media subsidiaries to Gray Media.

The deal specifically involves WLFI-TV in Lafayette, Indiana, and WTHI-TV in Terre Haute, Indiana, marking a significant change in ownership for the state’s local news corridors. Additionally, the acquisition includes WTVA(TV) in Tupelo, Mississippi, effectively placing these three stations under the Gray Media umbrella. This transition signals a new chapter for the affected markets as Gray Media expands its footprint across these Indiana and Mississippi communities.

To those no longer under the Allen umbrella, congratulations.
