Senator Ramsey Files Campaign Expenditure with a Non-Existing Entity
Appalachian Radio Group (ARG) is a fictional, non-existing legal entity - Appalachian Radio Group is a moniker that both the State of Franklin PAC President Dr. Kenneth C. Hill and his son, State Rep. Matthew Hill refer to their combination of the 501(c)(3) tax exempt Appalachian Education Communications Corporation ( AECC ; primarily WHCB 91.5 FM , the Cameo Theatre [sic], and WHGG 1090 AM "The Mighty 1090") with the for-profit Information Communication Corporation ( ICC; WPWT 870 AM - Kenneth Hill owns a 51% ownership share of ICC while AECC owns the other 49% of WPWT):

In actuality, Senator Ramsey should have properly listed either Information Communications Corporation or WPWT within his campaign expenditure reports as the for-profit WPWT 870 AM likely carried the Ramsey advertising.
Searches of both Federal Communications Commission license/ownership records and Sullivan County business licenses will bear out that Ramsey's incorrect listing of Appalachian Radio Group is an attempt to distance his campaign expenditures with a radio station owned by the State of Franklin PAC President Kenneth C. Hill.
