Monday Morning Shakers & Makers

Deals: 7/12/04-7/16/04

If you told us that the top deal would be for a noncommercial station, that three fourths of the stations sold would be in unrated markets and that there would be no TV stations sold, we'd say it would be a slow week. But given all that, 40M dollars is a pretty good total, especially during the summer doldrums.

Radio Deal of the Week
Non-com deal grabs the top slot
The Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex is the scene of this week's top radio deal - - and while it's not unusual for a top ten market to provide the setting, it is unusual for non-profit traders to provide the cast of characters. Research Educational Foundation Inc. is selling KVTT-FM and the right of first refusal for KVRK-FM Sanger TX to Covenant Educational Media Inc. At $16.5M, it's the Radio Deal of the Week.
