Hector Dougall Senior brought the first radio station to Northern Ontario in 1930, laying the foundation for what would become DougallMedia. Built on the principles of community service, integrity, and family values, the company was shaped by a clear belief in how to treat people - listeners, clients, and employees alike. Today, DougallMedia is proudly run by the third generation of the Dougall family, continuing a legacy of trusted local storytelling, community support, and strong family values.
DougallMedia is an independent, locally owned multimedia organization serving Thunder Bay, Northwestern Ontario and beyond through television, radio, digital, and print platforms. As the region’s only integrated media network of its kind, the company delivers trusted news, community connection, and marketing solutions that help local businesses grow.
As the media landscape evolves, DougallMedia continues to grow alongside it - combining modern digital capabilities with its established broadcast and publishing strengths. Committed to partnership, results, and giving back, the company supports local events, charities, and initiatives through airtime, promotion, and creative resources - carrying forward nearly a century of community trust, service, and family-driven values.
