Our Mission & Vision
In 1956 our founder, William E. Walker, never sought to own control of any station. Instead, associate with ”capable ambitious people who have been encouraged to acquire a stock interest, so we are always working together for a station’s welfare, knowing that a station serves it’s community well, it is bound to profit accordingly.” The whole of Mid-West Family is greater than the sum of its parts. We are focused on fostering relationships with our communities, our listeners, and our advertisers. In addition, we will grow people in each market with an eye toward potential market expansion in the future.
We are the only locally-owned and employee-owned media company and content producer in the region. We’ll empower you to leverage our successful brands, digital assets, influencers, and more to bring measurable results to area businesses and others. You’ll work directly with businesses, non-profits, and area leaders to build integrated marketing campaigns. All while creatively telling their story, reaching audiences across radio, streaming, interactive websites and apps, and digital services including streaming TV, and much, much more.
We are always looking for great people that want to join our team. If you are interested, please send your resume to [email protected].
