History
Heritage Media was founded in August 1987[1] by a group of Heritage Communications executives to acquire the company's television and radio stations.[2] The sale coincided with Heritage Communications' merger with Tele-Communications Inc.;[2] at the time, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations did not allow a company to own both a television station and a cable system in a market.[3] Heritage Communications had acquired the stations through the 1985 purchase of Dakota Broadcasting[4]
