Double O Radio was a privately held media corporation with corporate headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina. At its peak, Double O Radio owned 28 radio stations in the United States.
On August 8, 2011, Double O announced it would merge with Townsquare Media and become part of the Oaktree Capital Management broadcast empire.
The Panama City, Florida and Columbia, South Carolina clusters were not part of the transaction, and continued to be held by Double O's parent company, Pilot Group LLC. The Panama City cluster would be spun off on April 11, 2012 to Louisiana-based Powell Broadcasting for $950,000.[1][2] The Columbia stations would later be spun off to a local broadcaster, Hometown Columbia.
