Transactions: 6/6/05-6/10/05
Back to normal - - that's the word. This was by no means a scorching week for transaction filings at the FCC, but the stream was steady after an week of almost total invisibility. And TV was back in the mix. The action was fueled mainly, though, by a string of FM singleton sales in places like Las Vegas, New Orleans, Albany, Boise, State College and Bangor.
