Mill Creek Media

History
Mill Creek Media was originally known as Four Jacks Television, which was founded on the day it bought WAUT-TV (now WCFJ-TV) in Cleveland, Ohio, WATC (now WFJQ) in Cincinnati, Ohio and KATO-TV in Oklahoma City from Gene Autry. In 1987, Four Jacks also signed on WHOT-TV, making Mill Creek a powerhouse in indie television in Ohio. From its humble beginnings, Four Jacks focused on independent stations mainly in the Midwest. In 1994, Four Jacks entered into local marketing agreements with future acquistion Berks Media Group, which provided services for the Mill Creek Stations, with future sister stations WAKO, WQCF, and KOKF being senior partners. In 1998, Four Jacks rebranded itself as Mill Creek Media and moved its headquarters to Downtown Cleveland.

As the FCC relaxed duopoly rules, Mill Creek subsequently bought Berks Media Group, hailing it as a "merger of equals" in 2000. In 2002, Mill Creek bought Wolfe Television (WTCO in Columbus, Ohio; WSEM and WDFM in Detroit, Michigan; WFD-TV (now WDCF) and WBTD (now WAPO) in Washington, DC), refocusing Mill Creek into more of a national player in the television landscape. That focus was renewed again in 2004 when Mill Creek bought Pegasus Broadcasting (KSXT in Tulsa, Oklahoma and KEPJ in El Paso, TX) and debuted Buckeye Cable News.

As of late, Mill Creek has been refocusing its holdings, buying WFBG and in a month later, concurrently selling WFD-TV, WBTD, and WFBG to Gill Media Group (now New World Media), and announcing the shutdown of Buckeye Cable News. However, the company is still run by founder Armand Williams and has no intentions of announcing a sale.
