Transactions: 5/15/06-5/19/06

It's very unusual for one company to monopolize the Transaction of the Week citations. It's unusual to even be eligible, requiring that one company be involved in both TV and radio trading. But Emmis managed to pull off the feat, collecting 295M in station trading value all by itself, with a television sale and a radio station sale. There was another 30M-plus traded by other broadcasters.
