Radio and Television Transactions

On August 30, the Construction Permit for a 250-watt FM translator serving a city in northern Louisiana expires. Rather than rush to put it on the air, or risk losing the license, the mini-station's owner has opted to sell it by hiring Kalil & Co. as its broker. The buyer? The nation's second-largest licensee of radio stations.

One month ago, a consummation notice was posted by the FCC that confirmed Walker Newberry and his Red Sky LLC of Bowling Green, Ky., was now the licensee of a Class D daytime-only AM station serving Franklin, Ky., just south of Bowling Green. Now, he is adding a second property to his holdings.

A 19-watt translator in the heart of Vineland, N.J. — the Latino hub of Southern New Jersey — has just been acquired by the owner of the leading Spanish-language radio station serving Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley. The move will help bring some "AM revitalization" to Mega-Philadelphia in an area its Class B signal barely scrapes. But, this entire deal is contingent on a whole other agreement that has yet to be finalized.
