Transactions: 5/8/06-5/12/06

It wasn't a huge week, but it was active with a variety of trades. The biggest was a seven station sale for 10.5M involving two small Midwest markets. Seven more hit seven-digits, and there was even a rare in-market radio/TV combo sold (on the noncom side). It didn't set any records, but it was an indication of a healthy station trading market.
