Television

Morris Multimedia has its own broadcasting division, Morris Network, who owns and operates several television stations. In 2003, Morris Multimedia announced that they would sell KARK in Little Rock, Arkansas and WDHN in Dothan, Alabama to Nexstar Broadcasting Group for an undisclosed price.[3] Later that year, it purchased WCBI in Columbus from Imes Communications for an undisclosed price.[4] Between 2006 and 2008, Morris Multimedia purchased two television stations from Media General. These were WDEF-TV in Chattanooga and WTVQ-DT in Lexington. The former was part of the acquisition that Media General also saw that they would purchase the smaller NBC O&Os, while the latter was to reduce debt flow Media General had invested in.[5][6] Also in 2006, it purchased WWAY from Raycom Media for $18.5 million as part of divestitures regarding Raycom's acquisition of Liberty Corporation.[7]
