50M isn't bad for a week in which there were only 11 deals involving stations mostly outside of Arbitron/Eastlan territory and with another hiatus from the TV side. Two multi-station deals provided most of that total - - Maverick's Illinois foray noted below and Cincinnati Classical Public Radio's 15M FM duop/repeater deal.

Radio Deal of the Week
IL deal has everything but James Garner
It involves Rockford IL. It involves Maverick. But it's not an act, it's a 27M deal for an Illinois six-pack, four stations in rated Rockford and two more in unrated Freeport. Gary Rozynek's deal with seller Radioworks was the biggest FCC-filed score of the week.
