YORK, Pennsylvania — The company behind the York Revolution baseball team has agreed to buy three area radio stations from Forever Media, expanding a local broadcasting business that already includes WOYK.
York Professional Baseball Club announced the agreement October 15. The stations are country-formatted WGTY, known as Froggy 107.7; classic-rock WYCR, branded Rocky 98.5; and WHVR, whose Happy 92.7 service reaches the Hanover market.
The transaction requires Federal Communications Commission approval and is expected to close near the end of 2026. The announcement does not represent a completed transfer.
The buyer says no immediate changes to formats, branding or station personalities are planned. Dave Davies will remain general manager of the acquired stations, while Darrell Henry continues managing WOYK. Former Revolution president Eric Menzer will lead integration.
What will local ownership deliver?
The combination creates opportunities to connect radio advertising, community events and baseball sponsorships. A business buying a station campaign could also become an event or ballpark sponsor.
The community test will be what listeners receive: local programming, accessible station management and reporting that can operate independently of the ownership group’s other interests. Shared ownership creates commercial opportunities; the quality of the resulting service must be judged after the deal closes.
