Tega Cay, SC — November 1, 2024 — In a significant move to enhance local news accessibility, the local news outlet has announced a partnership with a prominent media group, aimed at extending its coverage throughout York County and beyond. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in serving the community with free and reliable news content.
The Tega Cay Sun, founded by Thomas Hyslip in June 2023, has established itself as a trusted source for local news, attracting over 36,000 visitors per month to its online platform. The outlet has gained recognition from numerous major platforms and is now a proud member of the South Carolina Press Association. The partnership is with OTS Media, known for their long-standing history in broadcasting since 1944.
This new partnership will allow the Tega Cay Sun to provide exclusive content to OTS Media’s websites, reaching an even broader audience. With the intention of delivering free local news, the Tega Cay Sun aims to bridge the gap in information access across communities within York County.
The collaboration will particularly benefit residents not only in Tega Cay and Fort Mill but also in the wider York County area. This expansion reflects the growth of the region and the increasing need for accessible, relevant news for local residents.
This partnership officially begins today, November 1, 2024, and it seeks to enhance the informational landscape through both digital and print mediums. Earlier, the Tega Cay Sun introduced a monthly print edition that is currently available at various local businesses, reinforcing its commitment to community engagement.
The initiative comes in response to a growing demand for free local news amidst a market where many outlets require paid subscriptions. Editor Thomas Hyslip stated, “Many local outlets require a paid subscription, but we believe local news should be available to everyone.” This ethos drives the Tega Cay Sun’s mission to provide information that truly matters to the community.
Furthermore, the partnership presents new advertising opportunities for local businesses. With tailored solutions aimed at different community segments in Tega Cay, Fort Mill, and York County, businesses can now better connect with their target audiences. Patrick Byrne, another editor at the Tega Cay Sun, emphasized the advantages this collaboration brings to local marketing.
OTS Media has a rich legacy in radio broadcasting and has been a cornerstone of York County’s media landscape. Its flagship radio station, which launched in 1944, prioritizes local needs, providing 24/7 news and talk programming. The partnership with the Tega Cay Sun is seen as an evolution of their mission to adapt to modern community information challenges.
The collaboration between the Tega Cay Sun and OTS Media represents a significant advancement in local journalism, promising enriched news coverage and affordable advertising targeted to the community’s needs. As both organizations move forward, the focus remains on serving the residents effectively, ensuring that essential information is accessible to all.
