Still plenty of markets left
Even with last week's announcement of deals to sell 11 markets to George Laughlin's GAP Broadcasting and three to Rolland Johnson's Three Eagles, 54 of the 90 small and medium market clusters put up for sale by Clear Channel have yet to be sold. At least, deals for those remaining 54 have yet to be announced. Each and every one of the markets in the auction had at least one interested bidder, so it is mainly a matter of agreeing on price and getting the terms written down on paper. We await more announcements. In the meantime, here is an updated list of the markets up for sale and which have had buyers announced.
