Interep’s McGavren Guild Radio to Represent Seven Newly Acquired Wilks Broadcasting Stations

Interep (IREP.PK) announced today that effective immediately McGavren Guild Radio will represent seven new radio stations which were recently purchased by Wilks Broadcasting in the markets of Columbus, OH and Kansas City, MO. Interep already represents the remaining Wilks Broadcasting stations in Fresno, Reno and Lubbock.

The Columbus stations include WAZU-FM, WHOK-FM and WLVQ-FM. The Kansas City stations are KBEQ-FM, KFKF-FM, KCKC-FM and KMXV-FM. All the stations were formerly represented by the Katz Media Group.

Jeff Wilks, President of Wilks Broadcasting, said, “Shifting the representation of our newly acquired broadcast properties in the Kansas City and Columbus markets from Katz to McGavren Guild was an easy decision. McGavren's performance in our other markets has been exceptional and I am looking forward to them delivering the same solid results for Wilks Broadcasting in these two very important cities.

Lisa Sirotka-Sonnenklar, President of McGavren Guild Radio, said, “We congratulate Jeff on his new acquisitions in Kansas City and Columbus. We are extremely pleased that he has chosen Interep to take these properties to the next level in national sales."
