Our History

We've seen it all

Wireless has owned WNWS-WTBG, Brownsville, Tenn.; WTNE-WWEZ, Trenton, Tenn.; and WNWS-FM, Jackson, Tenn.

Its owned-and-operated publishing businesses have included newspapers such as Haywood County Advertiser, Haywood County Free Press, Brownsville-States-Graphic, and Brownsville Press. 

Regional and national titles in its owned portfolio of magazines include Fishing Tackle Retailer, The Fishing Wire, Mid-South Hunting & Fishing News, Bass Club Digest and Hello Haywood!  The company has served as the custom publisher for Boat US Foundation, American Agriculture Movement Reporter, Hunter’s Handbook, and the International Hunter’s Education Journal.

In 2016, Wireless Group launched Exact Marketing LLC.  The company provides managed digital marketing/advertising services to brands and advertising agencies across the United States.
