Competition
The only real competition is one local paper which you will own 1/3 of. Your primary markets are Ohio and Muhlenberg Counties, KY, with Central City, Greenville, Hartford and Beaver Dam being the largest populated areas. The largest and closest metro city is Nashville, TN, about 80 miles South. A major attraction located in the city of Powderly in the heart of Muhlenberg County is the Merle Travis Music Center.
Growth & Expansion
I have to assume a lot of the opportunities are already being done, however, using your local website to do live broadcast of events and local sports games can be a new revenue source. there seems to be opportunity for growth in radio or combination ad sales. Great opportunity to put your management in place with several employees retiring.
