Radio and Television Transactions

Vic Michael, who has become widely known for his ownership of FM translators and noncommercial full-power FM facilities across the Mountain West in recent years, has signed off on an agreement to divest two such facilities in the Grand Canyon State. The buyer is the most prolific Christian music provider found on the FM dial across the U.S.

He's the owner and morning host of an AM/FM Country combo serving Sweetwater, Tex., a small city due west of Abilene along Interstate 20. However, that will change soon, as he's agreed to sell the stations.  

A Class D AM radio station that serves as the originating station for an FM translator airing a Classic Hits format branded as "Boomer 102.5" is being acquired by the company that's seeking to attract fans of artists ranging from Ben E. King and the Bee Gees to R. Dean Taylor in Columbus, Ga.

A low-power digital TV station serving Albany, Ore., and another two LPTV stations in the cities of Dallas and Salem, Ore., respectively, are poised to become the latest assets of non-secular broadcast ministry theDove Media Inc. And, the entity isn't paying a dime for the three visual media facilities.

It's assets are comprised of AM and FM radio properties airing spoken word, Spanish-language and Country music programming. Soon, the company led by Ken Witt will be adding two more FMs to its Texas stable of stations.

In May 2026, Connoisseur Media sold radio stations in Millbank and Watertown, S.D., to Riverfront Broadcasting. Then came another transaction involving the company founded and led by Jeff Warshaw and the Yankton, S.D.-based licensee led by Carolyn Becker. Deal details for that transactions are now public.

In Duplin County, N.C., Teresa & Norman McCauley are known as the owners of "KIX-FM," which is actually daytime-only WKOO-AM 710 in Rose Hill, N.C. and its two FM translators at 100.5 MHz and 100.9 MHz.  Now, the McCauleys are poised to add a Class A FM to the northeast of these facilities to their asset chest.

It is a Class A FM radio station with a broadcast tower in Brilliant, Ala. And, until now, it has been a property owned and operated by Our Town Radio. Soon, that will change, as the company has signed off on an agreement to sell the facility.

With David Oxenford of Wilkinson Barker Knauer serving as the legal counsel representing the noncommercial non-secular seller, a 3kw Class A is poised to land in the arms of a licensee poised to make a great "Impact" in a Michigan city neighboring Sarnia, Ontario.

It's a tiny Class A facility with coverage of Latham and Cottage Grove, Ore., communities nestled to the south of Eugene. Here, one can tune to a wide variety of educational noncommercial stations, including the University of Oregon's Classical KWAX. Pending FCC approval, it's gaining this FM, adding it to its stable.

Just days after the privately held company saw five key shareholders agree to sell their stock, making the radio station licensee 100% employee-owned, Leighton Media has submitted paperwork with the FCC seeking its approval to add an FM to its radio holdings.

An AM/FM combo along with an FM translator licensed to the Rocky Mountain burgh of Pagosa Springs, Colo., is being sold. Who is the buyer of these stations being divested by Wolf Creek Broadcasting Co.?

A longtime licensee of broadcast radio stations in the Lone Star State has agreed to sell an AM/FM combo and an FM translator in a small South Texas city. What is Benavides and his Claro Communications Ltd. earning from the deal? That's a question with an answer sealed some 15 years ago.

It is a Class C3 FM with coverage of Appleton and Madison, Minn., the latter locale being its city of license. As of today, it is licensed to a company led by Kerri Boyens. Soon, the entity operating the station known to locals as "Q-92" will become the owner, pending FCC approval.

He's the licensee of such properties as a VHF low-power TV facility serving the Coachella Valley of California. Soon, pending FCC approval, that station will be in the hands of a "new" owner.
