SAN DIMAS, Calif. – WesCorp FCU said yesterday it has agreed to acquire Internet broadcaster CIA Studios from The Rochdale Group, a consulting company headed by former U.S. Central CU President Dan Kampen. WesCorp has been a pioneer in webcasting with its popular Market Update and Breaking News features, as well as its annual Operation Best Wishes, which allows soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan to communicate with their families every Christmas. WesCorp plans continue webcasting at CIA Studios and to expand the services to include, among other things, video news releases. CIA Studios was part of Counterintelligence Associates, the well-known credit union consultants which was acquired in 2005 by Rochdale, from CommunityAmerica CU.
