KZWV-FM Eldon MO isn’t technically a part of the Columbia MO Arbitron market, but it overlaps several Zimmer Radio stations that are. Zimmer has acted on an August 2012 letter of intent and applied to acquire the station.
The seller is Wright Communications, headed by Randall C. Wright.
The full name of the acquiring entity is Zimmer Radio of Mid-Missouri Inc. It’s owned 50-50 by John and Donald Zimmer.
The price for the station will be $675K in a mostly-back-loaded deal. $50K of the price is credited to Zimmer for taking over the station’s tower lease. It will pay another $50K at closing in cash, and will strike a promissory note for the remainder.
The LMA began 9/1/12.
