With the excitement of POWERBALL and a WHAT IF scenario - curious to discover the starting price for the Bonneville Cluster in Sacramento. . . .

Thanx

What makes you think they're selling? They just bought the stations six months ago.

Everything's for sale if the price is right.

Having said that, he's not going to be buying them anytime soon, and I doubt anyone else is either.

It's not out of the realm of the impossible.

What was the final price Bonneville forked over six months Ago
?

It was for the San Francisco and Sacramento clusters, without a breakout by market---$141 million. They got 99.7, 102.9, 96.5 and 98.5 in the Bay Area and 1140, 105.1, 96.1 and 100.5 here in Sacramento.

Educated guess---four stations per market, all FM in the Bay Area, one of them FM in Sac---market size difference---two-thirds of it for SF and a third for Sac would be $46.5 million.

But again---other than "anything can happen" and "everything is for sale if the price is right", what makes the OP (or anybody) think a sale is imminent---and who'd buy? There aren't that many players in the game anymore.

That should be "one of them AM in Sac"...
