Small-screen sports mean big-time action for Raycom Media. The company owns 36 TV stations in 19 states and Puerto Rico, as well as a marketing division that owns the broadcasting rights to Atlantic Coast Conference college basketball games (with Jefferson-Pilot Sports). Raycom Sports also owns the MicroPC.com bowl, and three LPGA golf tournaments. In addition, it produces such syndicated sports shows as "The Sports Edge, More Than A Game," and "Get Golf." Its stations reach 10% of all US households. Rick Ray and his wife Dee founded Raycom Sports in 1979 and sold it to Ellis Communications in 1994. Raycom Media was formed in 1996 to buy Ellis. It is backed by Retirement Systems of Alabama.
