EMF Enters Terre Haute With WVIG Purchase

Educational Media Foundation is entering the Terre Haute IN market with the acquisition of Classic Country “95.9 The Legend” WVIG Seelyville from DLC Media.

EMF will pay $335,000 for the station, which will break off from DLC Media’s four other stations in the market. DLC had acquired what became WVIG in a 2016 three-way deal involving Midwest Communications and Emmis.

Upon acquisition of the former “95.9 Duke-FM” WDKE, DLC Media rebranded the station as “95.9 The Legend” WVIG. The station features current DLC Media Operations Manager Barry Kent in mornings. Kent previously spent 31 years as OM/PD/morning host at Country 99.9 WTHI Terre Haute and is a member of the Country Radio Hall of Fame.
