A South Sound Owner Shift For Translator Twins

0

Serving the Centralia, Wash., area is an FM translator at 99.7 MHz. It is a sibling to an FM translator at 102.1 MHz, sandwiched between Renton and Tacoma, Wash., and serving the southern portion of the Seattle DMA.


These translator twins are seeing an ownership adjustment. It’s not a “sale,” given the assignor and assignee.

K271BS in Auburn, Wash., and K259BG in Chehalis, Wash., are being transferred to David Hartman and Gregory Smith from South Sound Broadcasting.

The deal is valued at $100,000, and is being signed off by Sound Sound Managing Partner Edward T. Hardy.

Hartman and Smith are already familiar with these properties: They share ownership with South Sound’s Hardy in Sunnylands Broadcasting, owner of KGAY-AM and KHCV-FM in the Palm Springs, Calif., market, and FM translators in the Washington cities of Redmond, Centralia and Tumwater.
