When not brokering deals, working on important broadcasting issues with the NAB or making the rounds on the college lecture circuit, Larry Patrick runs a radio group called Legend Communications. It just made an acquisition from a famous seller.
Despite the familiarity of the players, this one will not go down as one of the biggest deals of the year.
Far from it – it’s for FM translator K294BD Gillette WY.
The seller is religious non-profit Family Stations. Long associated with the late Harold Camping, it is now run by President Thomas Evans.
According to the transfer application, the translator will be tied to KIML-AM, also licensed to Gillette.
The price will be $35,000 cash.
The translator is well-centered within the KIML contour. The 106.7 MHz facility has 115 W @ 311’.
KIML-AM is a Class B on 1270 kHz with 5 kW-D, 1 kW-N, DAN.
Gillette is located in the extreme eastern portion of Wyoming, just to the west of Rapid City SD.
