The John Fredericks Media Network purchased WVCH AM 740 and 103.3 FM in Chester and Malvern, Pennsylvania and will operate 95.3 FM in Pennsauken, New Jersey.
The new stations will allow programming to reach Philadelphia and large portions of New Jersey and Delaware.
“The acquisition of iconic radio station WVCH in greater Philadelphia and its accompanying FM translator is an essential component of our growth strategy. We want to provide our growing audience with hard-hitting news and incisive analysis to cut through the cancel culture and the Woke fake news networks that dominate the airwaves today,” Fredericks said. “Our proprietary network of show hosts is leading the radio industry, and our vision of all live weekday coverage and weekend live sports has resonated with both our listeners and advertisers.”
The latest additions will complement the network’s radio stations in Virginia and Georgia and its partnership with The Star News Network‘s 11 state-based digital news sites.
“Our strategic partnership with Star News Network is a cornerstone of our future expansion and we mandate that our newspapers operate independently from our radio and television network. We believe our burgeoning audience today is yearning for facts, independent thought, and intelligent commentary, not parroting the same lines over and over as the fake news conglomerate does,” Fredericks added.
Michael Patrick Leahy, who serves as the CEO of the news sites, detailed the radio additions will allow the partnership to continue to grow into important media markets.
“The Star News Network is delighted to expand our hugely successful partnership with the John Fredericks Media Network from Georgia and Virginia into Pennsylvania. The combination of the great radio programming of the John Fredericks Radio Network with the state-based digital news sites of The Star News Network is a winning combination for everyday Americans who simply want to know the true facts about state and local news stories,” he explained.
