== History ==
MediaCast started operations on March 2nd, 1999, with the ownership of two stations under their belt. MediaCast was known back then for their Intense cost cutting measures at the two stations they owned, both affiliates of The WB. For one, both stations had their master control and creative services departments hubbed out of MediaCast's headquarters in Toledo, Ohio, the lack of a newscast or a public affairs show on both stations, (PSAs and community calendars ran to satisfy FCC requirements) a bare bones staff team, among others.
On December 4th, 2010, Lake Hill Investments announced that it was forming a broadcasting company with MediaCast Inc, the owner of 2 stations in Salt Lake City and Tampa. The company formed on January 3rd 2011, via Broadcasting Investments I LLP. MediaCast bought 5 stations for the new partnership.
On June 1st, 2016, Mediacast filed for bankruptcy, and Lake Hill bought the legal assets of the company. Lake Hill then transferred the assets to a new company, MediaCast LLC. The LLC is controlled by David Smith, a friend of Lake Hill owner Fred David. However, the majority of the stock is controlled by Lake Hill, via another shell company, PLI Ventures LLC.
To make MediaCast look like a legitimate company, the newly dubbed MediaCast kept their headquarters in Toledo, (although master control for MediaCast's original properties were sent out to Lake Hill in Chicago, and Creative Services now originating at said stations which have been sold to Lake Hill Directly with the other stations it had. MediaCast also sold their massive 10k foot facility and moved to a small office space downtown) maintaining a website and phone number, (which is only a voice mailbox) appoint managers to run their 2 stations and maintains a bare bones staff of just 3.
