Smith Media

Smith Media, LLC, successor to Smith Television, is a broadcasting group co-based in Los Angeles, California and St. Petersburg, Florida, that owns and operates seven television stations across the United States.

Smith Television became Smith Media, LLC in 2005 at the death of Bob Smith, head of the family run organization. The family decided to re capitalize their stations and sold the stations to Boston Ventures, which created Smith Media.
