About

Starting on-air then working through the ranks of programming, production and sales, Steve Lapa, at age 25, became the youngest General Manager in the U.S. of a group owned top 30 DMA radio station-WGRQ, Buffalo.  

Continually assigned to lead turnaround properties, Steve focused on delivering revenue and audience growth through the insightful opportunities blending on-air talent creating unique programming with high profile event partnerships. He quickly became a category innovator. Steve’s first-mover concept, developed in the early era of superstar stadium concerts, proved highly profitable across program channels, talents, and venues at all levels.

Steve held upper level management positions at 28 radio and TV stations for public and privately held companies from South Florida to San Francisco. After successfully managing and innovating for others, Steve and financial partner Myer Feldman co-founded Ardman Broadcasting of Florida and Cape Cod, to acquire underdeveloped broadcast assets, which were developed then divested at 200-400% returns. 

Steve went on as Founder of his own Lapcom Communications generating the same results at his wholly owned stations. 

Lapcom Communications is the parent company for Steve’s current business activities.
