Hall Communications is a broadcasting company based in Lakeland, Florida. The company currently owns 21 radio stations, mainly in Polk County, Florida, eastern Connecticut, the lower Susquehanna River Valley, Providence, Rhode Island, and the Lake Champlain region.
The company was founded in 1964 when Robert M. Hall, founder of The Hall Syndicate (a major newspaper syndicate), purchased WICH, his first radio station in Connecticut. In 1967, Hall would sell off his syndication company to Field Enterprises, in order to concentrate more on broadcasting.
By 1971, Hall Communications had grown to include WICH and WICH-FM in Norwich, Connecticut, WNBH and WNBH-FM in New Bedford, Massachusetts, WMMW in Meriden, Connecticut, WETE in Knoxville, Tennessee, WUSJ in Lockport, New York, and WBVP and WBVP-FM, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. WMMW was sold at some point in the early 1970s. WETE was sold in 1976 to Basic Media, Inc. That same year, Hall purchased WGAL and WGAL-FM, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
