Balance Point Capital Partners Announces its Investment in Digity Media
Balance Point Capital Partners is pleased to announce its investment in Digity Media, LLC (“Digity”).
Balance Point Capital Partners provided $5 million of Senior Subordinated Notes to facilitate Digity’s
acquisition of NextMedia Operating Inc. (“NextMedia”).
Based in Palm Beach, Florida, Digity owns and operates commercial radio stations throughout the
United States. Digity was formed by the consolidation of Palm Beach Broadcasting, LLC and
GoodRadio.TV by Garrison Investment Group and Mr. Dean Goodman. On a consolidated basis, Digity
will operate 63 radio stations in fifteen clusters across eleven states, which include Suburban Chicago,
Coastal Carolinas, Suburban Dallas and San Jose. The Company primarily operates FM stations with
select AM assets. Digity’s stations represent a variety of formats addressing a broad spectrum of
audiences.
The acquisition of NextMedia will add 33 radio stations in seven markets: Chicago, San Jose,
Greenville- New Bern-Jacksonville, Canton, Saginaw, Myrtle Beach and North Dallas. Palm Beach
Broadcasting has four stations all in the Palm Beach area and GoodRadio has 26 stations in three
markets in Iowa and eight markets in Missouri. The consolidated assets of Digity will make the
company among the top ten radio broadcasters by number of stations.
“Balance Point Capital continues to partner with strong management teams in the radio broadcasting
space and we look forward to working with Dean Goodman and his team” said Seth Alvord, Managing
Partner of Balance Point Capital. “Digity’s acquisition of NextMedia will greatly expand its national
footprint from both a financial and operational standpoint.” Balance Point Capital Partners invests mezzanine and equity capital in select lower middle market
