On October 19, 2020, a broker release obtained by RBR+TVBR revealed that Ramar Communications had agreed to sell The CW Network affiliate in Lubbock, along with two low-power facilities, to Gray Television.
The FCC eventually approved the deal, consummated by Ramar following the February 11, 2018, death of its founder, Ray Moran, at the age of 82.
Now, Moran’s legacy will live on as Ramar is purchasing a low-power TV station in Colorado.
San Luis Valley Television is selling K19IX-D in Romeo, Colo., to Ramar Communications.
The deal is a relatively small one, valued at $10.
And, it was signed off by Brad Moran, now President of Ramar.
K19IX has been a MeTV Network home, serving a tiny town in Conejos County. It is part of the Albuquerque DMA, given its historical geographic proximity to New Mexico’s chief TV market.
