History
Main Line's first acquisition was Dame Broadcasting's 5-station group in Hagerstown, Maryland in August 2005. In December 2005, Main Line purchased four stations from MainQuad Broadcasting in the Richmond, Virginia market.
In May 2007, Main Line doubled in size with the purchase of ten stations from Radio One in the Louisville, Kentucky and Dayton, Ohio markets. In October 2008, it downsized its Louisville, Kentucky cluster as part of company-wide budget cutting. In doing so, the entire WLRS airstaff was released. WLRS retained its rock format.
