History

The company was founded in 1968 by Don Curtis as a cable TV provider. CMG is the largest privately held broadcast company in North Carolina, and claims that WQDR-FM is the highest-billing radio station in the state. Don Curtis formed a company, Inner Banks Broadcasting, in partnership with eastern North Carolina broadcaster Henry Hinton, which in 2006 purchased WMFR from CBS Radio, and simulcasts talk WSJS and WSML.[1]
