95.7/The Ride has taken a "ride" up to #4

 

[tylerSC]

95.7 seems rare as an independent operator, when most larger market stations are now owned by big broadcast groups such as iHeart, Audacy, Beasley etc. I wonder it will eventually be acquired or if they offer to sell?

Also in Hichory WHKY radio remains locally owned, but the TV channel 14 was sold to Jimmy Swaggart. The old WHKY operator leases back 14.2 for programming but 14.1 is SBN and the Swaggarts operate the other subchannels.

I hope not because the owner also has a great 50s/60s oldies station.

Dave Lingafelt is the WXRC owner, and he has said repeatedly that he's not selling. He turns down all offers.

Even the owner of B101 in Philly sold out to Audacy. The time will come...

It’ll happen at some point, but Dave will have to be dead or broke… so not anytime soon.
