Sincerely, David Bradley Brian Bradley CEO President News-Press & Gazette Company News-Press & Gazette Company Employee Handbook ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION News-Press & Gazette Co. traces its beginnings to a frontier newspaper established in 1845, just two years after the founding of the city of St. Joseph along the banks of the Missouri River in northwest Missouri. Headquartered in St. Joseph, the company has been owned and operated since 1951 by four generations of the Bradley family. The company is led today by David R. Bradley, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, and Brian Bradley, president. Henry H. (Hank) Bradley, past chairman, continues as a board member. Other family members actively involved in management of the company include Eric Bradley and Katherine (Kit) Bradley, both of whom also are board members. In all, the company employs slightly more than 800 full- and part-time workers across a broad range of career fields in publishing, broadcast television and digital media. The company’s successful steps toward diversification in both mature and emerging communications businesses have provided a solid foundation for growth. Yet, it takes greatest pride in the quality of its employees -- those who have served it so well over many years, and those joining the staff now who will make important contributions in the future. NEWSPAPERS News-Press & Gazette has pursued a “cluster” business strategy in building a modern printing plant in St. Joseph and acquiring newspaper properties in the nearby region. The division’s aim is to publish intensely local newspapers that, working together, can achieve cost efficiencies while providing our advertising customers with uniquely valuable ways to reach a growing market. The company’s newspaper holdings : St. Joseph News-Press , published daily, serves communities in 21 counties in northwest Missouri, northeast Kansas and southeast Nebraska. The Daily Star-Journal , based in Warrensburg, published five days a week, serves Missouri communities east of the Kansas City metropolitan area. Atchison Globe and Hiawatha World , both published twice-weekly, serve northeast Kansas communities. Liberty Tribune, Gladstone Dispatch, The Kearney Courier and The Smithville Herald, all published weekly, serve Missouri communities in the northern parts of the Kansas City metropolitan area. News-Press & Gazette Company News-Press & Gazette Company Employee Handbook The Miami County Republic , published twice-weekly, and Osawatomie Graphic and Louisburg Herald, both published weekly, serve Kansas communities in the southern parts of the Kansas City metropolitan area. The division also is focused on leveraging its strengths in printing and specialty publications. A major component is high-quality sheet-fed printing. Specialty publications include The Kansas City Nursing News, a weekly serving the health care industry, and Green Acres, a twice-monthly farm publication serving northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri. TELEVISION AND RADIO News-Press & Gazette has long-term experience in broadcast media, having owned and operated multiple local television stations starting in the 1970s. The company's current holdings are an important part of its multiplatform media portfolio. The company’s broadcast holdings: El Paso, Texas: KVIA (ABC); NVIA (The CW); OVIA (WX); QVIA (LATV). Palm Springs, California: KESQ (ABC); KDFX (FOX); KCWQ (The CW); KUNA (Telemundo); KUNA-FM; KESQ-AM; NESQ (WX). Yuma, Arizona-El Centro, California: NECY (ABC); KECY (FOX); OECY (The CW); KESE (Telemundo). Bend, Oregon: KTVZ (NBC); KFXO (FOX); NTVZ (The CW); KQRE (Telemundo).

  • Station Transactions: 1991 Through September 1998
    ---Station Transactions: 1991 through September 1998 Page 35 BEAR STEARNS Station Transactions -1991 through September 1998 - In this section, we provide quarterly summaries of significant television transactions that have occurred from 1991 through September 1998. The data summarized include: • the date a transaction was announced (rather than closed) • the property or properties acquired/swapped • the affiliation of the acquired/swapped property • the Designated Market Area (DMA) in which the acquired/swapped television station operates • the purchaser • the seller; and • the purchase price, on the date of announcement. Since the majority of these transactions were private, cash flow and transaction multiple estimates were not available for most of the properties and therefore were not included. These data can be used to determine 1) which broadcasters have been active buyers and sellers; 2) the relative prices paid for different properties in the same market; and 3) relative acquisition activity by quarter.
