Mr. Delich, together with Norm Waitt, started Waitt Media in 1998. The company started as a record label (Gold Circle.com) and rapidly grew to include the radio (9th largest operator in US), television and billboard businesses.

This is a great opportunity to hear about a local company that is rapidly becoming a national media leader.
