Marquee Broadcasting, Inc. is a small broadcasting company which owns several television stations in the United States.
History
Marquee began in 2013 when its owners, Brian and Patricia Lane, announced its intent to acquire WMDT and its repeater, WEVD-LP for $9 million.[1]
The company's next acquisition came in 2015 when it closed its acquisition of WUGA-TV from the University of Georgia for $2.5 million. Following the acquisition, the station's primary affiliation changed to Heroes & Icons and changed its callsign to WGTA.[2]
In May 2016, Nexstar Broadcasting Group announced its sale of KREG-TV to Marquee Broadcasting.[3]
