today I hear its for sale 1 million

 

[RadioStarOne]

One Million, sell it to Lotus.

 

[ki6bkj]

One Million, sell it to Lotus.

I'd like to see it sold to someone that will take Fox Sports away from 1400 am and the Dodgers too

 

[ki6bkj]

One Million, sell it to Lotus.
[/quote) sell it to the dodgers and they will have a station like the Angels do

 

[MisterGort]

What station is owned by the Angels ??? One Million is to much cash for the KJUG group to be interested.

KLAA in Anahiem or somewhere in So cal

 

[randy1]

Really a million dollars, for a 1k Am? If it was making money ...maybe worth half that?
And if it was making money, it would still be on the air..

 

[MisterGort]

Sounds like maybe it might go to the KJUG group.

Wow! Marv Sawyer! I worked one summer at KNGS circa 1965, and Marv was the engineer way back then. That's getting close to 50 years ago. He deserves a well-earned retirement by now.

On another note I noticed that Pierra Broadcasting is credited as being owners since sign-on in 1948. I remember Golden West Broadcasting as being the owner when I worked there. How long has the Pierra family really owned the station?

Correction: Pereira

I guess I was way off. A little research shows that in the 1960's KNGS was owned by Central California Broadcasting: "A John Cohan station". I don't have time right now, but maybe later I can do some more research and find out when the Pereira family took over.

I don't have time right now, but maybe later I can do some more research and find out when the Pereira family took over.

P&C Broadcasting bought it in 1989 for $300 k, and then Maria Pereira took controlling interest in later years.

If the station was worth $300 k around 1990, It's probably worth half that now... depending on who owns the land where the towers are planted.

The audience for a Portuguese format has likely declined as there is no significant Portuguese migration to the US and the community here is likely later generation by now.
