GoodRadio was established in late-2006 with the purchase of six stations in Iowa. It later acquired The Shepherd Group's 8 FM and 8 AM stations, all in Missouri, in February 2007. In 2007, Good Radio had plans to acquire 200 smaller-market radio stations from Clear Channel Communications, [2] [3] but the deal fell through when its financing group, American Securities Capital Partners, objected to the deal's $452 million cost.

In 2013, GoodRadio was folded into a larger holding company known as Digity, LLC, also owned by Goodman, joining a sister group of stations in West Palm under the banner West Palm Broadcasting. The reorganization came alongside Digity's purchase of NextMedia. [4] Digity was in turn acquired by Larry Wilson's Alpha Media in February 2016. [5]
