Bayou City Broadcasting, LLC is a broadcasting company founded in December 2007 and owned by DuJuan McCoy. The company is based in The Woodlands, Texas.
History
The company's first acquisition of stations occurred in January 2008 when it acquired several television stations in West Texas from Sage Broadcasting.[1] Bayou City briefly exited broadcasting when it sold those stations to Dallas-based London Broadcasting in September 2012[2] .
The company re-entered the broadcasting business in 2015 when it acquired WEVV-TV in Evansville, Indiana. The station had been owned by Communications Corporation of America and was to be operated by Nexstar Broadcasting; however, Nexstar was forced to divest the station and Bayou City emerged as the successful buyer, closing the acquistion on January 1, 2015.
