As RBR+TVBR first reported on April 11, Cox Media Group is exiting the Houston market with its sale of Country KKBQ “93Q,” Classic Rock simulcast KHPT-FM & KGLK-FM “The Eagle” and Classic Country KTHT-FM 97.1 to Urban One.
To make the deal pass muster with FCC regulatory limits on local ownership, KROI-FM 92.1 in Seabrook, Tex., which is Black Gospel and branded as “Praise 92.1”; and KTHT, “Country Legends 97.1,” were transferred to the Sugarland Station Trust, led by Scott Knoblauch, who runs Spectrum Media.
On April 20, the trust agreed to sell KROI to Spanish Broadcasting System for $7.5 million. Now, a buyer has emerged for KTHT, and it may not be a surprise for many industry observers.
