History
In 1980 Emmis Broadcasting founder Jeffrey Smulyan purchased his flagship radio station WENS in Indianapolis. The station's success led him to purhase other radio stations throughout the country. Around 1984 the company brought KPWR in Los Angeles. In 1986 the company's expansion grew as they purchased WAPP (renamed WQHT) and WHN (now WFAN) in New York as well as WAVA-FM in Washington D.C. from the Doubleday Broadcasting Company. Emmis took full advantage of the money-minded 1980's as it acquired five NBC radio stations in 1988 but ended up selling two stations to avoid a situation known as a duopoly. Emmis purhased the Seattle Mariners in 1989 but sold them in 1992. In 1994 the company purchased WIBC and WNAP in Indianapolis from the Horizon Broadcast Corporation and WRKS in New York City from the Summit Communications Group. Emmis became a public company in the mid-1990's. The expansion continue to grow as the company purchsaed numerous television and radio stations in the late 1990's.
