Landmark Communications, Inc.Frank Batten Jr. is the CEO of Landmark Communications, Inc.. Landmark Communications, Inc. is a privately owned media company with interests in newspapers, broadcast television and electronic publishing. The company is also involved in database marketing, career education and trade shows. Landmark is headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia. The Virginian-Pilot is Landmark's flagship newspaper, published in Norfolk, Virginia. Chairman Frank Batten Jr. and his family own Landmark Communications. It is believed that Landmark is seeking to sell all of its media holdings, including newspapers and television stations. However, the 2008 financial crisis has made it hard for possible acquirers to obtain debt financing. Until June 2008, Landmark owned the cable television service The Weather Channel, which is based in Atlanta. Landmark sold The Weather Channel to a consortium led by NBC Universal and two private equity firms -- Bain Capital and the Blackstone Group. The buyers are reported to have paid $3.5 billion. The Weather Channel is the leading brand of weather information on television, reaching 96 million households on basic cable, according to Landmark. WTVF TV (NewsChannel 5 Network) in Nashville and KLAS TV in Las Vegas make up the broadcasting division of Landmark. Landmark is part owner of Trader Publishing Co., a nationwide publisher of classified magazines, and Capital-Gazette Communications, Inc., which includes Washingtonian magazine. Contact Information
