Last September the Adams Radio Group acquired a significant portion of the oversized Great Scott radio group in the Salisbury-Ocean City MD market. Now it’s gotten around to bringing in The Tacher Company to handle national sales.
The Kalil & Co.-brokered deal went into the books at $3.15M and included two AMs and four FMs.
Tacher noted that the stations it would be selling are heritage stations in the market and it looks forward to adding them to the client list.
Ron Stone, President/CEO of Adams Radio Group said “We are thrilled to be working with Tacher and many old friends there! Our new Salisbury-Ocean City cluster has huge potential and we know we will be represented well.”
Here’s a look at what Adams is getting for its investment. Format information came from a BIA study included with the transfer application.
