Henson Media

Henson Media, Inc. is a media brokerage firm assisting clients in the buying and selling of radio and television stations. The company’s services include valuating broadcast facilities, identifying and contacting prospective buyers and sellers, and guiding clients in the negotiation process through closing. The company was formed in 1990 by Ed Henson, who has over thirty years of experience in the broadcasting business. Offices for Henson Media are located in Louisville, Kentucky.

While Henson Media has worked with clients in numerous states, its primary focus is in the upper southeast and the Midwest, especially the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, and Indiana. The company has worked with a wide range of clients, including individuals wanting to buy their first radio station, owners of stations in small markets, companies owning a number of stations in a region, and some of the largest publicly traded broadcast companies in the country.

Ed Henson draws on his extensive background in the broadcasting business. He has been an owner/operator of stations in small towns and in a top fifty market. He knows what it’s like to meet a payroll and understands first hand how important confidentiality is in the acquisition process. He gained basic engineering knowledge from his father, who was a very well respected broadcast engineer for over fifty years. From his years of long distance running, he understands that the job isn’t done, until the finish line is crossed and the deal is closed.
