Before the Wright Broadcasting Systems family truly began, Harold worked as a Disc Jockey at the Weatherford station, established in 1970 by Dick Johnson and Paul Buenning. During his time there, he saw firsthand the impact news and coverage could have on the lives of listeners, and purchasing the station became his dream. So, when his friend and mentor Dick Johnson called him in 1991 with an opportunity to buy the station, Harold seized the moment and accepted. Harold explains, “Our family has a strong heritage here, in Weatherford, to begin with, and we wanted the opportunity to give back”. Shortly after purchasing the station, Harold was able to grow the Wright Wradio family with the addition of several other radio stations in Clinton, Cordell, and Elk City. Before long, they began to offer live video coverage of area sports and special events and news distributions through the weekly newspaper, The WestOK Weekly. Today, Wright Media covers all of western Oklahoma, from the Texas panhandle to El Reno and from Snyder to Seiling. With over 100,000 people living in their immediate service area, Harold and Heston are completely committed to their mission: “To serve our communities with live, local information and entertainment while creating a valuable advertising medium”.
