Transactions: 10/11/04-10/15/04

Trading came back, and almost 100M was earmarked to change hands in radio alone. However, the great bulk of that was basically a paper transaction as Viacom's Infinity signed a San Francisco FM over to SBS in exchange for a piece of the action with the Hispanic specialist. The lone TV deal pulled in another 20M and change.

TV Deal of the Week
Nexstar sidles into Rockford
Nexstar is not buying WTVO-TV from Young Broadcasting, but it will have a shared services agreement with the company that is buying the ABC affiliate, Mission Broadcasting. The 20.75M acquisition and agreement will effectively pair the station with Nexstar's Fox WQRF-TV.

Radio Deal of the Week
Infinity puts a stick into SBS
Raul Alarcon got a big ally for his Spanish Broadcasting System, as well as KBAA-FM in the San Francisco market. Infinity sent the station his way in exchange for stock, which we valued at over 75M based on the SBS closing price on 10/4/04.
