It’s a small city along U.S. Highway 27 not far from Providence Canyon State Park and home to an FM translator with a mere 10 watts that nevertheless covers the municipality. Soon, it will be under new ownership.
The broadcast facility is W271BC at 102.1 MHz in Lumpkin, Ga., and Loam Media is selling it to Georgia-Carolina Wireless LLC.
A $5,000 purchase price has been agreed to, with a $500 good-faith deposit made to the seller.
Loam Media is associated with non-secular Family Radio, and with the sale of the FM translator is heading into the hands of a company led by Douglas Sutton Jr.
Doing business as Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting Companies, Sutton’s operation is comprised of nine audio brands largely to the northeast of Atlanta. Thus, the Lumpkin property is poised to be the southernmost property for the company, and within the Columbus, Ga., market.
