Great Lakes Media

This is an interesting radio development...the merging of two of the biggest names in radio management in Chicago. From the RAMP Newsletter...

Great Lakes Media Corp. announced the first of several appointments to its Board of Advisors and Senior Leadership Team -- and simultaneously proclaimed a strategic shift in the company’s focus toward larger market acquisition opportunities.

Tom Langmyer, Founder & CEO of Great Lakes Media Corp., has added several highly experienced and well-respected names to the team as the Company moves to become a significant local media player in the U.S.

John Gehron, Chairman of AccuRadio, joins Great Lakes Media Corp. as Board Advisor, bringing his legendary major-market experience as a highly accomplished executive with some of the nation's premier media companies.

Langmyer launched Great Lakes Media Corp. in November of 2018 with the initial intent to target media acquisitions in small communities. In a very short time, interest and support shifted Great Lakes' focus toward the media properties and groups that operate in larger markets. The vision remains the same, which is to invest in radio stations and digital platforms and to grow them as true “local” brands. The company is meeting with investors, brokers and others who are interested in specific markets; and has plans to announce appointments of additional officers and partners in the weeks ahead.
