It may technically not be a station sale, but it is indeed a transfer of control. And, there is money being transacted. As such, the FCC has received a filing from the owner of a 50,000-watt FM serving Olivia, Minn., that seeks its permission to transfer it from one licensee to another.

Christy Andrulonis is gaining control of a South Carolina FM through her Sweet Tea Radio LLC. It involves Steve Clendenin, who held a different FM in the Carolinas that Sweet Tea gained control of until September 2023.

It's licensed for 5,000 watts and assigned a broadcast frequency of 90.7 MHz. Soon, it could sign on the air. When that happens, this Construction Permit will be in the hands of a new owner, as Berean Baptist Church is selling the yet-to-be-built FM.

In June 2017, noted media broker Richard A. Foreman shared the news that all of Radio Vermont Group's radio stations were up for sale.

It's known as "The Big One," and reaches the suburban Chicago cities of Wheaton, Joliet and city of license Aurora. There's also an FM translator at 105.5 MHz in Aurora with a small signal, in order to protect Alpha Media's WZSR-FM in Woodstock, Ill. Pending FCC approval, "The Big One" will be under new ownership.

Yet another asset purchase agreement has been signed that, pending FCC approval, will put ownership of an AM, an FM and an FM translator serving a tiny South Carolina city due north of Augusta, Ga., in the hands of a not-for-profit broadcast ministry. It's Good News ... no pun intended, for the buyer.
