windowizards , inc. was an american home improvement company headquartered in levittown , pennsylvania which served southeastern pennsylvania , delaware , new jersey and virginia .

windowizards ’s primary services included window replacement , door and bathroom remodeling , siding , insulation and installation services .

in 2009 , the company came under fire after an investigation by philadelphia television station wtxf fox 29 reported that the company engaged in deceptive business practices by allegedly selling insulated windows that did not contain the amount of foam insulation which the company had claimed they did .

in 2010 , the company closed all of its showrooms except at its main office .

on december 16 , 2010 , windowizards abruptly closed its business , locking out its employees , leaving customers with deposits paid for unfinished work , and covering its sign with a tarp .

its website was taken offline as well .

company president and founder harvey goodman refused to speak to reporters from the philadelphia daily news about the closure .

the company 's approximately 100 employees were telephoned in the evening of december 15 , 2010 and advised they no longer had jobs with the company .

on february 18 , 2011 , goodman declared personal bankruptcy in florida .

although the company reopened in late december 2010 shortly after closing , in early february 2011 the company closed again , prompting both civil and criminal investigations by bucks county , pennsylvania authorities contacted by customers with incomplete work and unrefunded deposits .

redox brands was a marketing company formed in 2000 by todd wichmann and richard owen , former executives with the multinational consumer products firm procter & gamble ( p&g ) .

the company 's first product was oxydol brand purchased from p&g .

p&g would continue manufacturing oxydol and provide back office support .

redox had won out over private label companies in the purchase of oxydol .

biz was purchased in an auction from p&g in the summer of 2000 .

forbes estimated that oxydol was sold for $ 7 million and biz for greater than $ 40 million .

in one year , oxydol sales were 800 % greater than when acquired .

in march 2001 , allied capital made its first investment in redox and made an addition investment in august 2002 .

in 2002 , wichmann left redox for another startup , healthpro brands .

allied capital acquired chempro , inc. in march 2006 .

allied then merged redox and chempro , inc. , with the resulting company being renamed cr brands .

redox brands

redox brands <EOT> chempro , inc . will be merged with redox brands , a majority - owned portfolio company of allied capital , to form cr brands , inc .

chempro is a consumer products company that manufactures and markets branded and private label heavy - duty household cleaning products . its primary brands include mean green , pine power and magnum power . with the merger of redox brands , its primary cleaning / detergent brands of biz and oxydol will fall under chempro ' s production .

allen mcintyre of spartanburg ' s chempro has been named chief executive officer of cr brands , and rich owen from redox has been named chief operating officer .

allied originally invested in redox in march 2001 . it followed up with another investment in august 2002 . owen and redox co - founder todd wichmann have a minority stake in the company . wichmann left redox in 2002 to start healthpro brands inc . , which has licensed fit fruit and vegetable wash from procter . but he still holds his original ownership in redox .

chips off the p . & g . block ; can a start - up clean up with cast - off brands ?

that makes redox a small part of allied ' s $ 2 billion portfolio , napoli said .

besides , many industry experts say , giants like procter & gamble do not shed brands unless they have a good reason to do so .

chips off the p . & g . block ; can a start - up clean up with cast - off brands ? - the new york times

in some ways , redox ' s timing could not be better : behemoths like p . & g . , hoping to assuage wall street ' s anxiety over sagging earnings , are becoming more aggressive in dropping brands that are no longer among the market leaders .

two former procter & gamble co . executives formed the west chester - based consumer products firm in 2000 . it bought the oxydol and biz brands from procter shortly after .

first , instead of buying the leader in small markets - - a model exemplified by aurora foods inc . , which has bought brands including duncan hines , log cabin and van de kamp ' s , with some success - - they will buy small brands in large markets . that way , they can focus on competing for customers rather than trying to expand a market .

he and mr . owen had just quit their jobs at p . & g . to form redox brands inc . , a company that specializes in buying once - famous laundry and cleaning brands that giants like their former employer are discarding . their first - - and so far only - - purchase was procter & gamble ' s oxydol laundry detergent brand , in a deal that calls for p . & g . to continue to be involved in the product . the financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed .

chempro sells its products through discount stores , as well as through grocery chains . redox sells its products primarily into the mass and grocery channels .

mr . wichmann , the redox president , and mr . owen , the chief operating officer , also say they have two distinct tactical advantages .

and as companies like proctor & gamble and unilever scramble to shed old brands , mr . wichmann and mr . owen have a steady stream of product offerings from which to choose . in addition to oxydol , for example , p . & g . recently put biz , a bleach detergent , up for sale . ( the men would not comment on whether redox was considering acquiring it . )

their professor , sandy eustis , was impressed by their enthusiasm but did not like their business plan . he voiced concerns that have since been echoed by redox ' s critics .

" it makes more sense this year to harvest your investments , " he said . " redox is doing well , and the pricing is attractive , so it would be logical . "

" when we decided to take our company to market we knew we had a pretty good base . with us servicing our core stores and redox in the midwest and southwest we ' re a much stronger company .

" redox seems like one of the investments that has worked out for them , " napoli said . " this year , prices for buyouts have gone up , so if they have the chance to sell some of those , it would make sense . "

robert napoli , an analyst who tracks allied capital for piper jaffray & co . in chicago , said he wouldn ' t be surprised if allied tried to sell redox . allied has sold some investments this year as the market for selling private companies has improved .

although p . & g . would not comment on its relationship with redox or the specifics of the deal , it said in a prepared statement that oxydol , which represented a minute portion of company sales , ' ' no longer provided a strategic fit . ' '

spartanburg , sc — chempro inc . , a chemical company started in spartanburg 16 years ago as a manufacturer of cleaning supplies , has been acquired by allied capital corp . for $ 99 . 2 million , according to an article on the spartanburg herald - journal ”s website , urltoken . chempro will merge with redox brands , a majority - owned portfolio company of allied capital , to form cr brands inc . , according to the article . in the article , john shulman , managing director of allied capital , said : “the combination of chempro and redox represents a major strategic opportunity for both companies . from the opportunity to cross - sell products through their complementary channels , to the significant operational advantages from streamlining production , purchasing and distribution , the combination of these businesses makes enormous sense . ” click here to read the full article . for related information , click here . to return to today”s news , click here . to discuss this topic with other industry professionals , click here . for a free subscription to cm e - news daily tm , the daily news service for the building maintenance industry , click here . for a free introductory subscription ( or subscription renewal ) to cm / cleaning & maintenance management® magazine , the leading publication for the facility maintenance and contract cleaning industries , click here .

" the combination of chempro and redox represents a major strategic opportunity for both companies , " said john shulman , managing director of allied capital . " from the opportunity to cross - sell products through their complementary channels , to the significant operational advantages from streamlining production , purchasing and distribution , the combination of these businesses makes enormous sense . "

p . & g . was impressed by their plan . company officials even spoke to venture capitalists on their behalf , the pair said , and a group of investors led by the meriwether capital corporation in new york agreed to finance redox . the deal for oxydol was completed in a month , and both men were allowed to keep their jobs until it was done .

under the deal , procter & gamble , arguably the american consumer products company with the greatest influence among retailers , will still take care of the ordering , shipping and billing systems used for oxydol , which will continue to be made at a p . & g . plant . it also has an undisclosed minority stake in the company . redox , based in the cincinnati suburb of west chester , ohio , will be making the strategic decisions .

the cost of allied ' s investment in redox was listed at $ 22 . 2 million june 30 , according to allied ' s form 10 - q filing with the securities and exchange commission . that was mostly through debt securities and preferred stock , but it also includes a $ 3 . 2 million loan and warrants worth about $ 500 , 000 . its total investment is now valued at $ 25 . 35 million , according to the filing , thanks to an increase in the value of its preferred stock .

lately , mr . owen and mr . wichmann have been busy preparing oxydol for the first redox ship date this september . and in a recent conference call , they discovered some of the difficulties of being so closely tied to procter & gamble . for every 600 boxes sold , the men want to give retailers 300 boxes free . p . & g . ' s system is not configured to handle free boxes , so they have to find another way to distribute them . they are also working on formulating a liquid detergent , and preparing a radio campaign .

chempro , inc . , a company that started in spartanburg 16 years ago as a producer of cleaning supplies , has been acquired by allied capital corp . for $ 99 . 2 million .

" this company is a real nice story , " mcintyre said . " i grew up in this company when i came to spartanburg 16 years ago . we took some pretty good products and pushed hard . "

chempro retains its 75 employees . it is headquartered in spartanburg and has a warehouse in cowpens . mcintyre said he expects growth to occur .

" we produce the products so there will be some growth . we ' re landlocked here ( 141 venture blvd . ) . cowpens is an option . but we have time to see what we need to do , " mcintyre said .

" we ' ve sold our product to family dollar , dollar general and wal - mart so we have a solid base , " mcintyre said .

allied capital ' s acquisition financing took the form of debt and common equity .

allied capital corporation , a washington , d . c . - based business development company with total assets of more than $ 4 billon , invests in american companies seeking a long - term financial partner and access to managerial resources often unavailable to smaller companies .

the company ' s private finance portfolio includes investments in more than 100 companies that generate aggregate revenues of more than $ 10 billion and employ more than 90 , 000 .

todd wichmann and richard owen barreled into the procter & gamble headquarters last month and were about to head upstairs when the security guard stopped them .

waiting for permission to enter a place they had worked almost all their adult lives felt ' ' bizarre , weird , ' ' mr . wichmann ( pronounced wick - man ) said as he fiddled with his red visitor ' s badge .

but building a strong company out of a collection of jilted labels is tough going . other companies , notably in the food industry , have tried ; few have succeeded .

' ' buying an orphaned brand isn ' t necessarily a challenge , ' ' said david a . goldman , director of equity research at suntrust equitable securities . ' ' consolidating them into one entity that makes sense , has operational efficiencies , and has critical mass , well , that ' s another matter . ' '

oxydol was p . & g . ' s oldest brand of laundry detergent , introduced in 1927 . while it has a long history - - it sponsored the ' ' ma perkins ' ' radio show , the first so - called soap opera , in 1933 - - naysayers doubt that a rich heritage convinces consumers to buy a detergent .

' ' the question is : is oxydol such an ancient brand that it is valueless and not worth it to revive it ? ' ' said clive chajet of chajet consultancy , a branding consultant in new york . ' ' as far as i ' m concerned , they ' re starting from scratch in a category where it ' s hard to differentiate one brand from another . ' '

sales of oxydol have been sinking over the decade and are dwarfed by those of the market leader , p . & g . ' s tide .

despite all this , mr . wichmann , 30 , and mr . owen , 31 , are convinced they will succeed . their aim is to increase oxydol ' s share of the $ 6 billion market for liquid and powdered detergent to 2 percent in the next five years from its current one - tenth of a percent . ( by comparison , mr . wichmann said , tide now has around 35 percent of the market . )

though they are dealing in an old - economy business , they say , they are helped by some new - economy factors . the expansion of contract sales makes it easier for them to hire a company to sell their products . internet technology allows them to hold ' ' virtual ' ' meetings with business contacts , slashing travel costs .

second , they can tailor their packaging and pricing to fit the needs of smaller retailers , something that larger , bureaucratized companies cannot do .

' ' twenty years ago or even five years ago , there was no way to do what we ' re doing , ' ' mr . wichmann said . ' ' we want to be a virtual organization . we don ' t want any plants . we don ' t want any money going to fixed assets . ' '

he can make such a bold statement in part because he has p . & g . in his corner .

mr . wichmann and mr . owen acknowledge that their former employer influences their decisions . ' ' our relationship with p . & g . is very important and we do live by their rules , ' ' mr . wichmann said .

though bitten by the entrepreneurial bug early on , the men were , after all , trained by the company whose employees are widely known as ' ' proctoids , ' ' distinguished by their efficiency and obedience .

mr . owen and mr . wichmann met as interns at the company in the summer of 1991 , both researching laundry detergents . they cemented their relationship when they returned after graduating the next year . though both started at p . & g . as chemical engineers , mr . wichmann , who worked on oxydol early on , later went into marketing while mr . owen joined the sales and finance side .

from the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .

you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .

they started business school together in 1994 , attending xavier university at night . for their final project , the pair designed the american detergent corporation , a hypothetical company that bought oxydol from procter & gamble - - a brand they said they chose somewhat randomly .

' ' i said , ' why would you want to go into a business that ' s dominated by huge players ? ' ' ' recalled dr . eustis , who is now executive director of the center for adaptive management , a nonprofit research group in cincinnati . ' ' it ' s a slow - growth , mature industry dominated by large players who spend huge sums of money on consumer marketing and advertising , and that presents real difficulties for a smaller , entrepreneurial company . ' '

the men were not deterred . when the announcement of the oxydol sale popped up on the office intranet in march , mr . wichmann knew he had to talk to mr . owen .

p . & g . had long neglected oxydol ; the detergent did not even have the company ' s fixture of a brand manager to babysit the product . though p . & g . did not see much of a future for the brand , the two men did .

while he drove home the night of the announcement , mr . wichmann called mr . owen from his cell phone . all he needed to say was , ' ' hey , rich , american detergent corporation might be in business . ' '

as they hatched their plans over the weekend , mr . wichmann said , they found themselves in a chicken - and - egg situation .

they had to persuade p . & g . to sell the brand to them instead of to an established company with deep pockets . ' ' we knew we needed to have a big angle for procter & gamble to want to do this , ' ' mr . owen said . ' ' this thing had to be much bigger than just oxydol . ' '

to do that , they needed to assure p . & g . that they had strong backers . but to get those backers , they had to convince venture capitalists that p . & g . was intent on completing the sale . they also needed to keep their identity a secret so that if the deal did not go through , they would still have their jobs .

' ' there really was this covert operation going on , ' ' mr . owen said . mr . wichmann decided they needed some outside help , so he called dr . eustis , who referred him to robert buechner , a childhood basketball buddy and cincinnati lawyer .

the lawyer was intrigued with their idea . he helped them write an anonymous bid and began introducing them to venture capitalists , bankers and accountants .

during their lunch breaks and before and after work , mr . wichmann and mr . owen would meet with potential backers . they decided to wear khakis and shirts , the unofficial procter & gamble uniform , to those meetings .

' ' if you wear a suit at procter and gamble , that ' s a sign you ' re interviewing , ' ' mr . wichmann said . ' ' i didn ' t want to tip my hand . ' '

after two months of sub rosa maneuvering they had to reveal that they were the anonymous bidders for oxydol at p . & g . ' s demand . the men made a point of telling their respective bosses on the same day .

' ' i actually had one of my bosses say , ' rich , have you thought this through ? ' ' mr . owen said . ' ' ' what happens if procter & gamble considers you a competitor ? ' i thought , i ' ve got my family and my resume . ' '

they are trying hard , meantime , to establish their own identity , separate from procter & gamble .

their first trip back to p . & g . went well . former colleagues kept dropping by , curious how mr . owen and mr . wichmann were making out in what they call ' ' the real world . ' '

while they were getting ready to leave their meeting , mr . owen noticed a small green packet of oxydol on the shelf . ' ' you guys were supposed to turn over all of the product ! ' ' he teased the p . & g . representative . she and the partners shared a laugh .

as he walked toward the elevator , mr . owen slipped the oxydol packet into his back pocket .

investment firm allied capital corp . is looking to sell its controlling stake in the company , according to sources .

the timing is better now for allied to sell some of its companies than it has been for a while , napoli added .

allied aims to sell its portfolio companies at a significant gain after it holds them for a period of time . it typically buys controlling equity stakes in firms that generate strong cash flow . it often holds its shares for five to 10 years before exiting , allied said on its web site .

wichmann also wouldn ' t be surprised by a sale , given allied ' s structure of getting its investment out of a firm after a while .

" like any private company , anything is for sale at any point , " wichmann said . " nothing is imminent that i know of , but allied has to sell at some point . "

it received a windfall earlier this year when it sold cincinnati - based hillman cos . inc . that sale in march to equity firm code hennessy & simmons brought $ 510 million . sale proceeds to allied totaled $ 244 . 3 million , according to the filing . it realized a net gain of $ 150 million . that was allied ' s largest capital gain ever , it said .

hillman was one of allied ' s largest investments . allied still holds $ 42 . 3 million in hillman debt .

allied also has an investment in cbs personnel holdings inc . , a cincinnati - based temporary staffing service provider . allied provided $ 20 million in subordinated debt financing oct . 5 for cbs ' acquisition of venturi partners .

communications corporation of america ( also known as comcorp ) was a broadcasting company in the united states that owned television stations in smaller markets .

the company was headquartered in lafayette , louisiana .

it owned and/or operated 20 stations ( counting satellite stations and those controlled via local marketing agreements ) .

at one point , comcorp was also an owner of radio stations in its home market of lafayette ; it subsequently sold those stations to regent communications .

in june 2006 , comcorp filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy .

the company emerged from bankruptcy in october 2007 under the control of silver point capital , who also controlled granite broadcasting .

local news on comcorp 's owned or managed stations are structured variably , with most stations not producing news in-house .

as of may 2011 , the only comcorp owned-and-operated stations with in-house local newscasts are ktsm-tv and ketk-tv ; two comcorp managed stations , wvla-tv and kdbc-tv also produce their own newscasts .

most of the remainder of the company 's stations have their newscasts outsourced to other stations in the company portfolio : most of comcorp 's fox stations in louisiana and texas have local newscasts produced by ketk ( with the exception of wgmb in baton rouge , whose newscasts are produced out of area sister station wvla ) ; the newscasts for nbc affiliate kveo-tv in brownsville , texas , though are produced by el paso cbs affiliate kdbc-tv ) ; the remainder of comcorp 's owned and managed stations , including cbs affiliate wevv-tv ( the only big three station in the group without any local news ) , do not carry news at all .

on january 15 , 2013 , communications corporation of america put all of its 25 owned or managed stations up for sale , with investment firm houlihan lokey hired to assist in the exploration of sale options .

on april 24 , comcorp announced that its entire group would be sold to nexstar broadcasting group ; kmss-tv , kpej-tv and most of the comcorp-managed stations that are owned by white knight broadcasting would be sold to mission broadcasting while wevv-tv and white knight broadcasting 's kshv-tv would be sold to a female-controlled company called rocky creek communications , with nexstar assuming operational control of those stations .

however , on june 6 , 2014 , nexstar announced that it would instead sell kmss & kpej to a new minority-owned company marshall broadcasting ( marking the company 's first television station acquisitions ) for $ 58.5 million .

also on august 4 , nexstar announced that it would instead sell wevv to bayou city broadcasting for $ 18.6 million .

mission & rocky creek would later withdraw its applications to acquire kfxk , kshv & wvla .

the sale was completed on january 1 , 2015 .

it was the last remaining tv station group that did n't have an abc affiliate .

cca joins a number of station groups looking into potential divestments , including fisher communications and barrington broadcasting . after the rich revenues brought on by the 2012 election season , several groups are considering cashing out - - especially those owned by private equity concerns .

fisher pointed out that “millions of dollars worth of equipment has been destroyed” by the fire that will also need to be replaced . he planned to inspect what remains of the cca plant later today [ monday ] .

on january 15 , 2013 , communications corporation of america put all of its 25 owned or managed stations up for sale , with investment firm houlihan lokey hired to assist in the exploration of sale options . [ 4 ] [ 5 ] on april 24 , comcorp announced that its entire group would be sold to nexstar broadcasting group ; kmss - tv , kpej - tv and most of the comcorp - managed stations that are owned by white knight broadcasting would be sold to mission broadcasting while wevv - tv and white knight broadcasting ' s kshv - tv would be sold to a female - controlled company called rocky creek communications , with nexstar assuming operational control of those stations . [ 6 ] however , on june 6 , 2014 , nexstar announced that it would instead sell kmss & kpej to a new minority - owned company marshall broadcasting ( marking the company ' s first television station acquisitions ) for $ 58 . 5 million . [ 7 ] also on august 4 , nexstar announced that it would instead sell wevv to bayou city broadcasting for $ 18 . 6 million . [ 8 ] mission & rocky creek would later withdraw its applications to acquire kfxk , kshv & wvla . [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] the sale was completed on january 1 , 2015 . [ 12 ]

km communications should not be confused with the similarly named , virginia - based km broadcasting , which is named after founders robert kelly and peter martine ; that company owns wxob - lp in richmond .

we have good properties and good networks . all of our markets except for evansville [ ind . ] are growth markets . the louisiana economy is booming because of oil and is expected to continue to boom because of katrina rebuilding . and it’s a southern market that’s reached a good phase of development .

thomas galloway and wayne elmore , the founders and former top executives and owners of comcorp , are sticking around as vice chairmen of the newly reorganized company .

with the creditors at bay , the company was able to reinvest much of its considerable cash flow into rebuilding the infrastructure . one of the results of that investment is new newscasts in five markets and plans for news in two more markets .

media general has put five of its smaller stations on the block . any interest ?

president reagan observed of fisher : “as an early member of the coalition . . . i supported your resolution for a peace through strength strategy , and it was incorporated as a part of the 1980 republican platform [ when reagan was first elected president ] .

well , you never do know , but we have a lot of leeway between what i would call an oil boom to an oil bust . don’t forget : louisiana is an energy and chemical driven economy . we have a lot of alternative energy projects going on here . and , unfortunately , as a result of katrina , we have a shift in population , we have an influx of dollars to rebuild and just a lot of positive things happening to this state . the new governor now understands the game .

“the good news is we have a lot of money through our insurance company , ” fisher disclosed , adding that the cca’s hundreds of employees could “be retained” during the rebuilding process via a “government” safety net .

“have done a lot of work there and known the fisher family for 25 years , ” he said , “and a dear friend of mine works there . . . what a shock to read this . ”

retrans , obviously , we’re all anticipating . over time , the free market is taking care of retrans because people are beginning to get paid retrans dollars . those are obviously critical to the future of any company .

the fire , its cause still under investigation , burned so hot that metal portions of the structure either disintegrated or else melted . fortunately , no major injuries were reported . all day sunday a towering plume of smoke was visible from dozens of miles away . rappahannock county realtor trish bartholomew said she smelled the smoke on skyline drive .

it’s maybe $ 1 million or $ 2 million for ’09 . most of that will be taking down stuff off the towers .

i completely agree with you . this was the first thing i thought of after reading the article . the unnamed source . . .

cca has hired investment banking firm houlihan lokey to assist in the exploration of options . houlihan lokey did not return a call for comment .

everybody else in the world is talking new media—mobile , internet , that kind of stuff . does it make sense in markets this size ?

yeah . we’re using sharebuilders . it’s an automated inventory management system that belo and some of the groups , big and small , use .

we’re definitely committed to louisiana . we like the economy . we like the prospects of the economy in louisiana and texas . there’s a lot of development in the gulf for oil and i don’t think that the next decade is going to be unkind to oil - driven economies .

the company was forced into chapter 11 in june 2006 under the burden of $ 425 million in debt . but with creditors having agreed to convert $ 265 million of that debt into equity , the debt has been reduced to $ 160 million , a figure more in line with the company’s earnings . according to bankruptcy filings , the company is now doing about $ 25 million in cash flow on net revenue of $ 70 million .

“nexstar is taking an industry leading role in significantly expanding the diversity of media ownership assets among minority operators and addressing recent proposed fcc regulation changes , ” said mccoy . “i am delighted we have been able to structure an agreement for bcbe’s purchase of the evansville cbs affiliate and would welcome other opportunities to work further with nexstar or other broadcasters who are committed to supporting minority broadcasters as fcc licensees and owners and operators of television stations . ”

perry a . sook , chairman , president - ceo of nexstar , said : “the proposed transaction announced today highlights our focus on completing pending transactions and represents the second time in the last two months that nexstar has structured an agreement that furthers the fcc’s goal of increasing minority television ownership diversity . ”

i have a woman named susan ziller brazell , who has a long history in training and in development of local sales and national sales as well .

local news on comcorp ' s owned or managed stations are structured variably , with most stations not producing news in - house . as of may 2011 , the only comcorp owned - and - operated stations with in - house local newscasts are ktsm - tv and ketk - tv ; two comcorp managed stations , wvla - tv and kdbc - tv also produce their own newscasts . most of the remainder of the company ' s stations have their newscasts outsourced to other stations in the company portfolio : most of comcorp ' s fox stations in louisiana and texas have local newscasts produced by ketk ( with the exception of wgmb in baton rouge , whose newscasts are produced out of area sister station wvla ) ; the newscasts for nbc affiliate kveo - tv in brownsville , texas , though are produced by el paso cbs affiliate kdbc - tv ) ; the remainder of comcorp ' s owned and managed stations , including cbs affiliate wevv - tv ( the only big three station in the group without any local news ) , do not carry news at all .

steve pruett is the cca chief executive officer , as well as chairman of the fox affiliates board . he had no comment on cca & apos ; s plans .

i would say that we used chapter 11 to reorganize the company , prepare it for the future and make good investments in being good broadcasters . we were able to attract the interest of a good investor [ silver point ] , who has knowledge of the industry and a desire to grow . we’re building up our management team .

3 comcorp took over kadn under a local marketing agreement in 1997 , but the station remained under the ownership of charles chatelain until comcorp purchased it outright in 2004 .

the purchase price represents a buyer’s multiple of approximately 5 . 7 times the average 2012 - 2013 broadcast cash flow , assuming operating improvements and other synergies , nexstar said .

the elder fisher , who died at age of 90 in 2013 and is buried in culpeper , was a decorated world war ii veteran and former fbi special agent . he left the bureau in 1953 to become national director for security with sears , roebuck and co . two years later he became founder and president of the american security council .

“the addition of the cca stations builds further scale and operating leverage and represents another excellent opportunity for nexstar to expand our footprint and portfolio in attractive and highly complementary markets . ”

the small - market station group emerged from chapter 11 last month a new company and better broadcaster , says the new ceo . during bankruptcy , it launched news in five markets and made plans for adding news in two others . “we were well positioned to come out of bankruptcy because of the things that we did in bankruptcy , ” he says .

during the bankruptcy , the company launched fox news louisiana , which is a combination of local and statewide news on all of our fox stations in louisiana—baton rouge , lafayette and shreveport . it airs live at 9 [ p . m . ] and now for two hours in the morning , from 7 to 9 . it’s technologically advanced ; it’s completely digital .

in this interview with tvnewscheck editor harry a . jessell , pruett says the comcorp has managed to come out of bankruptcy in much better shape than it when in—and not only financially .

the source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .

upon closing , expected in october , the acquisition will expand the nexstar / mission portfolio to 91 stations in 48 markets reaching approximately 13 . 9 % of all u . s . tv households .

well , i have been so focused on just the fundamentals of the business and rebuilding the company that my political agenda is probably pretty short . i would just like to not have anything harmful done .

in june 2006 , comcorp filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy . [ 3 ] the company emerged from bankruptcy in october 2007 under the control of silver point capital , who also controlled granite broadcasting . [ 1 ]

“did you see the black plume of smoke ? ” he asked , his voice still echoing disbelief . “it was just awful . it resembled a dark cloud . i’ve never seen anything like it in my life . ”

people generally believe that new orleans is coming back . new orleans is a huge economic engine for the state of louisiana because of the port , but what is the configuration going to be when it comes back ? how do discern that ? it’s just too hard to tell right now what the economic future is exactly . so , sellers are saying we don’t want to sell too cheap and buyers are saying we don’t want to buy too high .

the station group is much as it was prior to bankruptcy . it includes a mix of 17 full - power big four network affiliates and low - power mnt and cw affiliates , all but two in either texas or louisiana .

i do think it makes sense . we’re easing into the water , trying not to make big mistakes or make costly errors . we do have commercial web sites . we are generating revenue from each and every one of those sites . we’re looking for innovative things to do . clearly , we have some things going on in terms of high schools and high school sports and we see it as a way to leverage local content and leverage our local news .

we are now using broadcast interactive media , but we’re doing some home - grown stuff . it’s a good company . we use their templates , their strategies , and then we developed some of our own things along the way .

but in an interview monday morning ahead of a workforce meeting in culpeper , the cca’s owner and president steven fisher told the rappahannock news that he and his team were already “working on a strategy towards getting everything replaced” and reopening the plant .

the cca was founded by steven’s father , john morris fisher , who was well known in white house , congressional , military and academic circles . he advised several u . s . presidents , and most notably won the praise of president ronald reagan .

nexstar broadcasting group said monday afternoon that it has entered into a definitive agreement with bayou city broadcasting evansville inc . ( bcbe ) for the sale of wevv , the cbs affiliate in evansville , ind . ( dma 104 ) , $ 18 . 6 million .

in 1971 , his obituary in the washington post stated , he founded cca and served as its chairman until his death while his son , as the president , ran day - to - day operations . locally , fisher was president of the culpeper hospital foundation .

after 16 months in chapter 11 bankruptcy , the lafayette , la . - based operator of small - market tv stations in louisiana and texas emerged last month with a manageable debt load , an intact station portfolio , new ownership , new infrastructure and a new ceo .

it hasn’t grown since i’ve been here . it’s been pretty flat . i think we could do better . it’s usually made up of about 25 accounts that really are consistently in spot and it’s obviously driven by automotive and wireless and some other major players that drive the spot business .

in new orleans , the ideal situation would be to buy the fox [ wvue ] , the abc [ wgno ] and the cw [ wnol ] , which are the emmis stations and the tribune stations . of course , you’d need a third party to hold the third station .

with the aid of low - power stations and management contracts , comcorp operates duopolies in shreveport , la . ( fox - mnt ) ; evansville , ind . ( cbs - cw ) ; tyler - longview , texas ( nbc - fox ) ; lafayette , la . ( fox - mnt ) and four stations in baton rouge , la . ( fox - nbc - cw - ind . ) .

absolutely . it’s vital not just for squeezing , but also for avoiding major mistakes and selling yourself into a corner and not leveraging your best inventory , especially at a fox where such things as nfl , nascar , american idol and four or five other primetime shows are so head and shoulders above everything else . you have to make sure you optimize them . if you don’t , you can really fall short of goals .

the irving , texas - based station group said today that it and duopoly partner mission broadcasting have agreed to pay $ 270 million to cca and its duopoly partner , white knight broadcasting , for 19 stations in 10 markets .

the cca group currently includes five duopolies . the deal will create two additional ones in shreveport , la . , and odessa - midland , texas , where nexstar already has stations .

nexstar projects that the stations will contribute around $ 100 million in net revenue and , given $ 12 . 5 million in projected synergies , generate more than $ 50 million in additional broadcast cash flow .

“the acquisition significantly expands our revenue and operating base with stations where we can quickly apply our operating and management disciplines to meaningfully improve their performance which we believe will result in significant free cash flow accretion immediately upon closing , ” said nexstar ceo perry sook in a prepared statement .

with the spectrum repack and atsc 3 . 0 on the horizen , broadcasters failing to think about sfns now may prove to be quite shortsighted in the future .

mccoy founded bcb in december 2007 and in january 2008 agreed to purchase seven television stations located in abilene and san angelo , texas . with this purchase , mccoy and bcb became the only african - american company to own and / or operate a fox affiliate in the united states and the first african american to own and operate a network affiliated station in texas .

wells fargo senior analyst marci ryvicker liked the deal : “given the fcc’s mandate to promote diversity in the market place , we are not surprised to see more collaboration between [ nexstar ] and minority - led broadcasters in order to get deals through . we are encouraged to see that [ nexstar ] ’s largest pending deal is close to being approved and view this restructuring as a positive . ”

last month nexstar announced plans to sell three full - power , fox affiliates in shreveport , la . ; odessa - midland , texas ; and quad cities , iowa , to marshall broadcasting group a newly formed minority - owned media entity owned by pluria marshall jr .

kalil & co . acted as the exclusive broker for the seller in this transaction .

silver point capital , a greenwich , conn . - based equity firm , has stepped in and is now the principal shareholder in the company . another equity firm , highland capital management , holds a minority stake . silver point also controls another tv station group , the new york - based granite broadcasting corp .

its “virtual duopoly” partner in shreveport , baton rouge and tyler - longview is malara enterprises , owned by tony malara jr . during bankruptcy , the stations were sold by thomas galloway’s son , sheldon , to malara .

the company has been completely rebuilt , is fully digital , is fully hd and now has news where it did not have news before .

we also launched news at our nbcs in brownsville [ texas , kveo ] and baton rouge [ la . , wvla ] . baton rouge was the largest market nbc in the country without news . both launched news at 5 , 6 and 10 .

because you become somewhat constrained by the market . when you’re a fox without a news , the next thing you have to do is get into the news business in order to grow or to find ways to improve your programming in early fringe . that’s a tall order these days .

the upside is there for these stations . because they struggled so long without reinvestment , they’re underperforming in market share .

our texas properties are all in extremely good growth markets . we have the border towns , and then tyler is adjacent to dallas and waco’s between dallas and houston . they are very robust economies .

yes , fully digital , fully hd , fully hd production . we have digital broadcast for news and on - air automation , enps for news , pathfire for receiving and ingesting programs , panasonic p2 newscams and sony production cams . we have apple final cut pro across the platform for news and production editing and avid adrenaline in baton rouge for long - form production . it’s all managed by a wideorbit traffic system , which we installed across the entire group .

lou stroger and ernie hart are the engineers behind this incredible transformation that has been accomplished in less than 15 months . the effort was led by sheldon galloway .

we have one hd news , in brownsville . that news just launched in october in hd .

there’s some upside in the fact that our physical plant is all digital , all top notch , full automated and that we have good markets with news where we didn’t have the news before . now , we have to become good revenue producers .

we really have done a lot to focus on where the money comes from and managing it . account management and inventory management are the keys to growth , pricing , franchise leveraging , all those things .

i think inventory management is critical to being able to raise revenue and raise share and knowing when you can afford to lower rates for share and knowing when you can’t afford to lower rates for share .

historically , in this company , it’s been about 45 percent . we hope that that will go lower as our newscasts develop . it should be lower than that . with the new newses , it should be about a third .

it’s always hard to tell . we think it will be . we have [ democratic senator ] mary landrieu up for reelection next year . that’s going to be a big fight .

yeah , well , bobby jindal is a professional politician here in louisiana . he’s been in politics for a long time . he’s very well regarded .

you’ll just have to see how tight the races get on the presidential side .

i understand . but in louisiana now , because you have these new newscasts , you’re going to be getting political money for the first time .

it’s the same in texas . we’re going to have more news in texas , too . we’re going to have the nbc in brownsville and we will have news at the two foxes .

it’s no secret . there are rules that you follow that will allow you to do it . you just follow those rules .

it’s just an administrative headache . it’s less cumbersome to just own them straight out .

ours don’t come in until ’09 or ’10 . i think the landscape will tell us what’s possible then .

i believe we do , absolutely . we are looking to acquire in our footprint—texas , louisiana , surrounding states , gulf states .

there are stations for sale . but right now it’s hard for people to buy or sell there because the sellers don’t know what’s going to happen—nor do buyers .

i appreciate it . i think that we’re really very well prepared to grow and take on the future . that’s my mantra .

an exhausted firefighter from brandy station volunteer fire station takes a breather as thick black smoke continues to pour from the destroyed boston plant .

the good news , the rappahannock news has learned , is that plans are already underway to rebuild while keeping the cca’s 300 - plus employees working in the process .

more than 200 firefighters from nearly three - dozen responding fire departments , including every volunteer company in rappahannock , battled what at times resembled a raging inferno against a darkened sky .

“it’s gone , nothing left , ” said one downcast cca employee , his head lowered to the ground as he walked through thick smoke back to his car sunday morning .

sperryville volunteer fire department firefighter matthew cody dodson takes a much - needed break sunday morning after battling the multi - alarm blaze near boston . a deputy with the rappahannock county sheriff’s office , dodson was on patrol when the fire broke out around 11 p . m . saturday . after his shift ended it didn’t take him long to switch from his sheriff’s uniform into his fireman’s gear .

according to a bloomberg business profile , the cca is “a direct mail production facility [ that ] specializes in continuous form printing , data processing , personalization , finishing , and mail processing . the company offers specialty work , such as embossed and thermal plastic cards , notepads , address labels , and carbonless form impact printing . it offers direct mail services to clients in the united states and internationally . ”

a national republican party consultant , who had visited the cca on several occasions , tells this newspaper “the plant was basically a print and letter production shop for direct mail conservative causes — rnc [ republican national committee ] , nrsc [ national republican senatorial committee ] , nra [ national rifle association ] . . .

“to help accomplish this , he organized the bipartisan coalition for peace through strength , ” the obituary noted . “this coalition grew to include 231 congressmen , 42 senators , and 20 governors from both parties ; 169 national organizations ; 514 colleges and universities ; 3500 member companies ; more than 2500 admirals and generals ; and more than 350 , 000 individual members , ” the obituary states .

“he also worked closely with all presidents from dwight d . eisenhower to george h . w . bush on national security matters . ”

sending out positive wishes for all the workers and their families who are affected by this fire . i’m glad to hear the owner has plans to keep everyone employed as he rebuilds the facility . i’m also hopeful that the new facility will be designed in such a way as to minimize noise pollution’s impacts on neighboring farms and developments . the old facility was extraordinarily loud , and could be heard droning away day and night from over a mile away on reva rd . . it sounds like cca has been a good employer in our region . it would be great if it could become a good neighbor as well .

exalenz bioscience ltd. is a biotechnology company that develops and manufactures non-invasive diagnostic medical devices for gastrointestinal and liver conditions .

the company ’s technology uses a continuous flow of a patient ’s breath to diagnose illness .

exalenz is headquartered in modi’in , israel and is publicly traded on the tel aviv stock exchange as exen .

u.s. headquarters are in jersey city , new jersey .

exalenz ’s devices use real time breath gas analysis to detect the ratio between different carbon dioxide isotopes - ¹³ co ₂ and ¹² co ₂ .

the detection technology is termed molecular correlation spectroscopy ( mcs ) .

laser-like light sources emit infrared beams in the absorption spectrum for co ₂ only .

this absorption is measured .

mcs is extremely sensitive and can work with smaller sample cells and a lower breath flow rate than other breath methods .

minute differences in the gas ratio indicate the presence of certain gastric or liver diseases , including gastroparesis , liver failure , fatty liver and liver cancer .

exalenz ’s breathid , a first generation device , received an eu ce mark on march 18 , 2002 , and the u.s. food and drug administration ( fda ) on july 9 , 2001 .

a second generation product , breathid hp breath test system , received an eu ce mark on april 18 , 2013 and fda clearance on may 22 , 2013 .

the breathid hp breath test system is used to perform a diagnostic test for the presence of helicobacter pylori , a bacterium that can cause peptic ulcers and is associated with gastric cancer .

h.pylori is a very common bacterium , reported to be present in up to two-thirds of the world population .

blood or stool tests are also used to diagnose h. pylori .

it takes days to get results from either test .

the breathid hp test takes 10 – 15 minutes .

physicians receive results at the end of the test .

helicobacter pylori is a small , curved , microaerophilic , gram - negative , rod - shaped bacterium .

about two - thirds of the world’s population is infected , but it is more common in developing countries .

usually asymptomatic , but h . pylori is the major cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastritis worldwide , which present as gnawing or burning epigastric pain . less commonly , symptoms include nausea , vomiting , or loss of appetite . infected people have a 2 - to 6 - fold increased risk of developing gastric cancer and mucosal - associated - lymphoid - type ( malt ) lymphoma compared with their uninfected counterparts .

fecal antigen assay , urea breath test , rapid urease test , or histology of biopsy specimen . a positive serology indicates present or past infection .

asymptomatic infections do not need to be treated . patients with active duodenal or gastric ulcers should be treated if they are infected . treatment should be determined on an individual basis . standard treatments are clarithromycin triple therapy ( proton pump inhibitor [ ppi ] + clarithromycin + amoxicillin or metronidazole ) or bismuth quadruple therapy ( ppi or h2 - blocker + bismuth + metronidazole + tetracycline ) . see urltoken .
