It’s been a very slow October for radio and TV transactions. The trickle of deal-making is such that the lone item up for discussion in TRANSACTIONS TODAY is a change of control of a low-power FM serving a community in the Grand Canyon State.
The facility of focus is KPKX-LPFM 99.7, in Show Low, Ariz.
That’s a tiny mountainous community along U.S. 60 and is to the far southeast of Flagstaff, Ariz.
KPKX-LPFM serves Show Low as “99.7 The Bear,” and airs a Country format.
Now, Show Low Community Radio is giving up KPKX, handing it to Show Low Radio, a 60/40 partnership between Margaret Reidhead and Jim McGregor.
According to Reidhead and McGregor, the LPFM “will continue to provide radio broadcasting education to people who are interested in gaining experience in the broadcasting field.”
