Ownership
GARK LLC, originally a partnership between Gordon Ackley and Randolph Knight, was acquired solely by Gordon Ackley in April 2006 when Ackley bought out Knight's 50% interest for an undisclosed sum.[4] GARK LLC is the licensee of WVJZ as well as sister stations WVWI and WIVI. Local press coverage pegged the sale price "in the neighborhood of $4.3 million" for the three-station combo.[5]
