I know this is the radio board, but - Cox TV sold

Bingo! I don't know why they weren't more aggressive in picking up some prime stations from the Nexstar/Tribune divestiture. IMO, Apollo/Cox should have taken the stations Scripps ended up with: Great houses in great markets. Now what's Cox left with? Their core stations, plus some LP's in Washington State, Yuma AZ & the Mississippi Delta. Oh how the mighty have fallen....

What do you mean by, "Oh how the mighty have fallen?" Cox is still among the very top radio groups and makes a lot of money. Finding a buyer is another story.
 
I haven't looked at Cumulus's debt lately, but I doubt the K-Love deal lowered their debt by more than 10%

Assuming all the cash from the K-Love transaction goes to debt service, it will lower long-term debt by about 8%.
But the bottom line is that 2018 was a profitable year for Cumulus Media. If that remains, there is no second bankruptcy in their future.
 
You may be correct but the fact this tread is on the radio side not TV, a radio angle will appear sooner or later. May be the thread should be on the TV board. There are more folks that have TV knowledge over there.
