The Border Media Business Trust has spun off an AM-FM combo serving the Texas capital with sports programming in two languages.
The stations are KWNX-AM Taylor TX and KTXX-FM Bee Cave TX. They were sold out of bankruptcy by W. Lawrence Patrick, trustee of BMP Austin License Company LP.
The buyer is Total Austin Radio Sports Radio LLC, with Michael R. McCain signing off on the FCC application as manager. FOB Austin Radio LLC, predominately owned by Barnett Family LP and Stephen W. Can Amburgh, holds 88.89% of the interest in the combo, and PMC Austin I LLC, a subsidiary of Public Media Company holds 11.11%. PMC is headed by Marc Hand and others.
