A Small Outer Banks Noncomm FM Is Sold

Rodanthe, N.C., has the privilege of being home to the easternmost point in North Carolina, and Hatteras fishing pier. It is also the locale of a 100-watt Class A FM radio station that is in the process of a transfer of control.

For $3,000, Seacoast Radio Network Corp., a Florida-based non-profit entity, is acquiring WIID-FM 88.1 in Rodanthe from Craven County SBA Inc.

Seacoast is a partnership that sees CEO Ryan Ickes hold 35% equity interest and President Danny Ickes control 45% interest. The remaining 20% interest is held by Tyler Nye, serving as Treasurer.

Once the transaction is complete, WIID will become a sibling to “The Star FM,” a “positive music” station offering Christian Adult Contemporary music to its audience.
