DuJuan McCoy’s Media Empire Grows

DuJuan McCoy just pulled off a blockbuster deal, snapping up WRTV — Indianapolis’ ABC affiliate — and now controls three local TV stations, reshaping the city’s media scene. Rising from Butler in ’89, he built his empire in Houston before buying small stations, selling them for $18M. He expanded into Evansville and Louisiana, then cashed out his entire Bayou City Broadcasting operation for $165M in 2019 — launching Circle City Broadcasting to immediately re-buy two Indy stations. The WRTV acquisition required an FCC waiver to own more than two stations in one market, highlighting how such deals reshape local news delivery. But behind the headlines? Layoffs are already underway — a pattern across his stations — making this not just a business move, but a human story still unfolding.
