JEGI CLARITY (www.jegiclarity.com), the leading independent investment bank for the global media, information, marketing and technology sectors, headquartered in New York, NY, represented RTM Productions in this transaction and acted as its exclusive financial advisor.

We are thrilled that RTM is now part of the Raycom Media team.”

“Our combination with Raycom Media brings the resources, scale and strength of one of the country’s largest independent broadcasters to help RTM increase our content and our marketing services to our advertisers,” said RTM founders Joe and Patty St. Lawrence. “We are proud to become part of the Raycom Media family.”

The team at JEGI CLARITY did a fantastic job representing us throughout our sale process, from developing a strategic plan to carrying it out through every step to closing. We could not have navigated our way through the deal without their guidance, attention to every detail and first class service. They did a great job working for us and with our buyer and made it happen. We highly recommend JEGI CLARITY as the premier banker in the media space.
