History
In April 2006, Lincoln Financial acquired Jefferson-Pilot's
television and radio operations, which were renamed Lincoln Financial Media. The group owns
18 radio stations in Miami, Florida, San Diego, California, Denver, Colorado, and Atlanta, Georgia. It also owned WBTV, the CBS affiliate in Charlotte; WCSC-TV, the CBS affiliate in Charleston, South Carolina
and WWBT, the NBC affiliate in Richmond, Virginia. In June 2007,
the company publicly announced it would explore a sale of this
division, and hired Merrill Lynch to assess its strategic options.
It was announced on November 12 that Raycom Media purchased the three TV
stations [1], including its'
sports production division, which was the co-holder to football and
basketball games in the Atlantic Coast Conference
with Raycom and sole rightsholders to the Southeastern Conference until
2009, when ESPNPlus
and CBS Sports
acquired the rights. The Raycom Sports brand was merged with LFS as
of January 1, 2008.
