Reverend John Scahill - Quoted in Newspaper - Historical Newspapers - Chronicle Telegram, Elyria, Ohio

This is an extract from Ancestry.com

The Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting Co. (also known as Elyria-Lorain or ELB) is a privately held holding company of various assets in the broadcast media, based in Elyria, Ohio. Its parent company is the Lorain County Printing and Publishing Company, which owns the The Chronicle-Telegram of Elyria and Medina County Gazette.

The company was founded in 1948 with the establishment of WEOL AM-FM in Elyria, Ohio, both of which continue to serve as the company's flagships. On May 15, 1958, Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting Co. was purchased by the Lorain County Printing and Publishing Company, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. As LCP&P owned the Chronicle-Telegram (and bought the Gazette in 1962) in effect formed a radio/newspaper duopoly. This arrangement has lasted to this day, grandfathered by FCC legislation that now prohibit such arrangements...
