Transactions: 9/12/05-9/16/05
Raycom and Liberty struck a deal for 15 television stations valued at 987M, and there was just enough action on the radio side to produce the first billion-dollar trading week of 2005. In fact, it was the largest total since we began keeping this chart back in August 2003.

TV Deal of the Week
Raycom liberates 15 stations
It'll have to spin three of them, but the deal, at 987M, gets Raycom into markets ranging from Louisville to Jonesboro AR. They're all affiliates of the original three big nets, too - - ABC, CBS and NBC. This is the biggest single-buyer TV deal of the year, since the Emmis sales are going in several different directions.
Radio Deal of the Week
Crystal to Salem deal shuffles Orlando, Dallas AMs
The first half of this transaction, estimated to be worth about 6M, was filed the prior week - - it sent KNIT-AM from Salem Communications to James Crystal Enterprises in a swap. WORL-AM Orlando goes the other way to Salem.
