Talk:Palmer Communications

Article improvements

This article is definitely in need of improvement. Based on some searching that I did, it appears there's more to this company than I thought. If you read this https://www.nytimes.com/1989/03/02/business/palmer-to-buy-knight-station.html?mcubz=3 it states they also had radio properties in Florida, though I'm unsure of what or where. If you know of them, please do add them to the article. It also states that they have interests in cable TV and cellphones. If you read this https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1287404.html it appears they did have a cable company, although this could be a different Palmer Communications, Inc. I'm still searching around, but I think someone else with greater expertise on this subject will be needed to help fill in the blanks. Moline1 (talk) 04:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I dug up some more sources in regards to this. This one http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ConvertTiffToPDF?storagePath=COR%5C2000%5C1018%5C70420487.TIF&documentNumber=840215 says they dissolved on October 10th, 2000. It also mentions Naples, Florida, suggesting that is where their Florida radio properties were. Whether or not they still owned them in 2000, possibly, but idk. There is also this https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ia/49440 I'm currently reading this https://www.palmer.edu/about-palmer/palmer-college-history/the-palmer-family/ and this https://www.palmer.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/biography-sutton-jenny-wren-palmer.pdf It appears Vickie Anne Palmer, who I thought was of no relation is actually related to the Palmer family. I'll update this article accordingly, as she also owned WMT AM in Waterloo as well. Moline1 (talk) 04:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I finished reading the two bio's from the Palmer website and let me say this, an expert on this subject is definitely needed. They were previously known as Palmer Broadcasting Company, but changed their name to the current name after they became interested in cellular communications. It also states they continued to add TV stations, but beyond buying out KFOR in 1989 and already owning KWQC and WHO, I do not know what else they owned and where. I'll update the article to include what I have just found, but for anything else, someone else with better knowledge on this subject than me will need to come in.
