Clear Channel sells in North GA

R

RickRose

Whitfield Communications picks up 5 north Georgia radio stations from Clear Channel. Dalton's 1230 WBLJ (N/T), 1430 WDAL (S) and 104.5 WYUU(AC) along with 98.9 WQMT (country) were sold for $ 3.85 million. Ringgold licensed 101.9 WTUN (clsc Country) was sold for 2.15 million to Whitfield as well.

It was announced that CC would be looking at selling non-core market radio stations so this does not represent a major sale-off.
 
Yes, Whitfield Communications owned WBLJ, WDAL, WQMT & WYYU before Clear Channel bought them back in 2000.<P ID="signature">______________

Good move. At least those stations will have some kind of local programming, hopefully. CC has ruined far too many stations as it is.

With the sell of these stations, i wonder if Clear Channel would said other non core stations like the newnan/lagrange stations?

If the station can't be a player in an Arbitron market, they will be on the block.
