"We have been searching for the right situation for Verax's initial investment. Core to our philosophy is to partner with seasoned management teams to build businesses. Without question, Dean and George are well-respected and experienced executives with broad-reaching expertise in the media business. We are excited to create this partnership with Dean and the management team," commented Verax partner Steve Hardek.

"Small markets continue to reward growth to radio stations that have focused on being the primary media for local news, weather, sports and entertainment in these communities. I am likeminded with Verax in this broad based opportunity. In addition to capital, the Verax partners bring diversified expertise to the table, which as a team, we will capitalize on for our company's success," explained Goodman.
