A low-power television station serving the Redding, Ca., area is being spun to an operator known for its radio, TV and digital offerings focused on Christian-themed programming.
The purchase will help in bringing additional offerings from “theDove” to a region known officially as “Jefferson.”
KGEC-LD 26 in Redding, Ca., is being spun by Cooper Communications to TheDove Media Inc.
At present, KGEC is an affiliate of theDove TV, and the arrangement dates to May 2021, and has been a repeater station of two area low-power stations owned by theDove, based in nearby Medford, Ore.
Now, KGEC is poised to become an owned-and-operated station, paired with KRDT-CD 23 in Redding and K16I-WD 16.
TheDove uses a network of low-power TV stations across Northern California and Oregon’s I-5 corridor, serving viewers from Vancouver, Wash., south to the Oakland Hills in the San Francisco Bay Area.
A $90,000 purchase price has been agreed upon. Sterling BCG is the broker in this transaction, representing the seller.
Serving as the buyer’s legal counsel is Howard Liberman of Wilkinson Barker Knauer LLP.
