In 1983, he first gained national recognition for his purchase of WCFL-AM 1000 in Chicago. The $8 million acquisition from Mutual by Statewide Broadcasting brought a big-market property to a group of stations comprised of WAPE-AM & FM/Jacksonville, an AM in the Miami market, and two properties in Tallahassee, Fla.
From there, Scott K. Ginsburg would enjoy a prolific career in the radio industry, which came to an end in 1998 with the sale of Chancellor Broadcasting. Ginsburg would then launch a Dallas-area luxury automobile dealership distinguished by bringing Porsche to Plano, Tex.
RBR+TVBR has now confirmed the passing of Ginsburg, who died “very peacefully” on May 26. He was 71 years of age.
