ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz. Is it still August? Still ain't much goin' on in the station trading world. Take out the one big-market TV deal and the total for the week would just barely top 6M dollars.

Radio Deal of the Week
Mercatanti on the hunt in Vermont
A pair of Vermont FMs are going to Louis Mercatanti's Nassau Broadcasting, part of the group's ongoing expansion in the outer reaches of New England. The stations, WEXP-FM Brandon VT and WVAY-FM Wilmington VT, are coming from Vox. Despite being beyond the boundaries of Arbitron, the deal is good enough, during a slow week, for Radio Deal of the Week honors.
