Women in broadcasting ownership

[Doug Drown]

Mrs. Valerio would count, though I'm looking primarily for 
solely-female owners.  

BTW, the Dudmans (below) really put the two Maine stations on the map 
--- a classy operation.  Helen Dudman had previously been with The 
Washington Post and knew quite a bit about broadcasting.  She turned 
WWMJ (former WDEA-FM) into the top-rated oldies station in the Bangor 
region, and WDEA became a first-rate 5-kw full-service station for the 
whole Down East area, broadcasting a nostalgia format with local news, 
sports and other features.  They're now owned by Cumulus, which has 
been wise enough not to change things.  WDEA has been with CBS for 
nearly 50 years.
