History

The company started as Rollins Broadcasting in 1948. Founded by entrepreneur John W. Rollins and his brother, O. Wayne Rollins.

The company grew to include other radio stations, a television station, Orkin, Inc., Western Pest Services, The Industrial Fumigant Company, a trucking concern (later sold to Penske Truck Leasing), a hazardous waste disposal service, and a cable television company.
