Radio and Television Transactions

In the TV industry, the WFOR call letters have long been associated with a TV station in Miami today owned by CBS Stations. In the radio world, it is an AM radio station serving Hattiesburg, Miss. Now, that AM, along with an FM translator and a full-powered FM sibling, are heading to a new owner.

He signed an FM radio station in Crowley, La., on the air in 1977 and later purchased three low-power TV stations in the Bayou State. Barry D. Thompson was the owner, and died in September. This necessitated a shift in the ownership of the media properties, and the FCC has just granted that request.

The sale of a pair of FM radio stations serving a pair of small Kentucky towns, a transaction first shared by RBR+TVBR in mid-September 2025, has closed. That's according to Ed Henson of Henson Media, who served as the exclusive broker in this transaction.

The man behind the low-power television station licensee known as Lowcountry 34 Media — a reference to South Carolina geography — has struck a deal to acquire a pair of LPTV properties serving the city that's home to Utah State University.

In December 2023, RBR+TVBR first reported on the proposed transfer of control of a Class A FM radio station in a small Indiana city made famous by legendary basketball star Larry Bird. Now, FCC documentation shows the original deal has been revised, with the seller agreeing to a reduced price.

The FCC ended 2025 by granting regulatory approval to twin filings made by two Sinclair Inc. subsidiaries in mid-November, paving the way for the transfer of control of television stations from an entity led by Eugene Brown.

On December 18, RBR+TVBR shared the news that a station that has served the African American community in Wisconsin’s largest market since 1967 is being acquired by Civic Media. With the filing of a Form 314 in the FCC's LMS, we now know how much Sage Weil has agreed to pay for the AM.

It's been known by locals as "Powerhouse 760" and uses a Class D daytime-only AM radio signal along with its all-important FM translator serving Morganton, N.C. Soon, the facilities will come under new ownership.

A 1kw daytime-only AM radio station with an FM translator serving a small town in North Carolina is seeking the FCC's approval to give 100% ownership of the facilities to Glasgow Hicks III.

A Class D AM with a regional Mexican format serving Loveland and nearby Fort Collins, Colo., along with its corresponding FM translator, will soon be under a new ownership structure, paperwork filed for approval at the FCC shows.

On February 4, it became known that a 1kw Class C AM licensed to Martin County, Fla.’s main city and a companion Class D AM with 5kw during daylight hours but just 63 watts at night over neighboring St. Lucie County were sold. Now, the buyer of those venerable AMs to the north of West Palm Beach is acquiring an mini-FM.

Three weeks after winning a battle over an FM translator's rebroadcast of a station now owned by Townsquare Media, the station's owner has agreed to sell the facility to an Allentown, Pa., based entity.

After more than 12 years since voluntarily entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Granite Broadcasting has sold its final property. It comes after a switch of the CBS affiliate to another station in the market, placing two diginets on the station now trading hands to a Sinclair Inc. shared services partner.

New York's Finger Lakes Region offers outdoors enthusiasts, wine lovers and beer and spirits connoisseurs a bevy of activities. For digital media veteran Scott Swanson, attracting these business as Radio advertisers is now in the cards. Why? He just agreed to purchase Finger Lakes Radio Group.

It has served the African American community in Wisconsin's largest market since 1967. Pending FCC approval, it will become the latest property in the Civic Media stable — along with a 61-year-old newspaper serving the Black community of Milwaukee.
