User blog:MXSaniel/AZBroadcasting spins off 5 stations

On March 1, 2017 it was announced, by AZBroadcasting CEO, Macy Ayers, that 5 of its stations (WTTC, WYOS, WIZC, WUTA, and WCAP) will be spun off to form a new company. It will be known as Tier Communications, and will be headquartered in Elmira, NY.

"For my whole life, I lived in Oregon. I love it there, but when I became CEO of AZBroadcasting, I knew there would be some improvements. When I saw our station list, I wondered why we have stations in the northeast? I always believed, focus on one thing first, then go to the next. Since we bought many new stations last year, especially in Texas and California, I felt like we need to get rid of the stations, we will save money, and improve our stations back home. So for now we will spin off those 5 stations, then if it still exist, we can come back to the northeast."

The stations will be spun off on March 6, 2017.
