About Radigan Media
Radigan Media is a locally owned radio broadcasting and media company serving communities across New York and Pennsylvania. Founded in 2006 by broadcaster and entrepreneur David Michael Radigan, the company operates a portfolio of AM and FM radio stations and translators focused on local programming, community service, and results-driven advertising for direct local businesses.
Who We Are
Radigan Media is built on the belief that local media works best when it is truly local. The company owns and operates 17 radio signals across multiple markets in the Twin Tiers region, including full-power AM and FM stations and FM translators that extend coverage in rural and terrain-challenged areas.
From on-air talent to sales, engineering, and leadership, Radigan Media is hands-on and community-facing. Decisions are made locally, not in a distant corporate office, allowing the company to respond quickly to the needs of listeners, advertisers, and community partners.
What We Do
Radigan Media delivers:
- Local radio programming tailored to each market
- Community-focused news, information, and events
- Advertising solutions for local and regional businesses

The company’s stations serve as trusted local voices, providing music, information, and community connection while helping businesses grow through effective radio advertising.

Community Commitment
Community service is central to Radigan Media’s mission. The company produces and supports numerous long-running local initiatives, including:

These initiatives reflect Radigan Media’s role not just as a broadcaster, but as a community institution.
Leadership
Radigan Media is owned and operated by David Radigan, who serves as President, General Manager, and CEO. Dave developed a passion for radio early in life and purchased his first station in Owego, New York, in 2006. Since then, he has grown the company through strategic acquisitions and a focus on strong local operations.
Advertising sales and revenue strategy are overseen by Irene Radigan, who leads the company’s sales organization and plays an active role in regional civic, nonprofit, and volunteer leadership.
Together, Dave and Irene have expanded Radigan Media’s footprint while deepening its commitment to the communities it serves.
Our Philosophy
Radigan Media believes:
- Local ownership matters
- Community trust is earned, not bought
- Radio remains one of the most effective advertising mediums for local businesses
- Media companies have a responsibility to serve the public good
By combining disciplined operations with a deep understanding of local markets, Radigan Media continues to prove that independent radio can thrive in a modern media landscape.
Looking Ahead
Radigan Media continues to invest in its stations, facilities, and people, with a focus on sustainability, community impact, and long-term local relevance. While technology and platforms evolve, the company remains committed to its core mission: serving listeners, supporting advertisers, and strengthening the communities it calls home.
