Pacific Broadcasting of Missouri will get something out of the sale of KYRK-FM Taft TX to Withers Family Texas Holdings, but mostly it will benefit by getting out from under a burden of debt. The buyer will be getting the station in return for forgiveness, for the most part.
The station is a C2 on 106.5 MHz with 50 kW @ 486’. It has no trouble blanketing Corpus Christi from a site across the water from the main part of town.
The value of the current deal is $178K. All but $10K of that will be in the form of debrt forgiveness.
The seller is headed by P. Stephen Bunyard; the buyer by James G. Withers.
The contract lists an LMA partner – Bogey Broadcasting LLC has a contract to work with the station as of 4/20/11.
