...Greater Media, which is turning 50 today, all starting with the launch of WESO 970 in Southbridge.
Eventually, the company spread out into many different fields, including cable television (Greater Media Cable, which served Worcester County and is now Charter Communications) and radio stations in markets including Los Angeles (launching the FM talk genre on KLSX 97.1 and owning 1110 KRLA as well) and Washington, D.C. (where the company owned WGAY-FM/WEBR 99.5 and 1050 WWRC). By the mid-90's, the company pulled out of these businesses to invest in radio stations in Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Central NJ, where the company also owns several newspapers.
Greater Media was headquartered in New Brunswick, NJ until several years ago when the company returned to Massachusetts at new headquarters in Braintree.
