Need your expertise............................

This will be a strange question, but I need the best estimate from you all for what you feel would be fair purchase prices for the following two stations................WSDZ in Belleville, and WGNU in St. Louis (I know, they're probably gonna be tied up in probate court for years...........)

This is a serious question, and I appreciate your input.
 
10 times cash flow? You haven't given any info to evaluate with. Are the facilities up to date? Is it a fixer-upper or highly performing? How much is cash flow, anyway? Will you pay cash? Do you have financing? Do you need seller financing? You get the idea.
 
Sorry, but just trying to get a rough estimate for possible sale prices from local posters who might have an idea. Not necessarily putting in a bid for either, so financing is not a question. Curiosity from a conversation with someone else is behind the inquiry.
 
If I were to guess, by the sale prices of similar AM facilities in St. Louis, WGNU would probably fetch somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 - $1.5 Million. As for WSDZ, I doubt Disney will be selling it soon, but with the improvements to the signal that they have made - Their 20kW daytime signal is one of the best in the market. It would be a lot tougher to put a value on it, but I would guesstimate in the $3 Million neighborhood.

I'm judging my guesses by recent sale prices of KSLG, WESL, and WDID over the last 18 months or so. Anyone buying either of these properties would be doing so only for the signal. WSDZ is Radio Disney, and WGNU has really went to pot since the death of its founder Chuck Norman a couple of years ago. WGNU, while not billing well these days, does have a heratige as an eclectic talk station for many years, that probably could resume under new ownership.
 
thanks, mike. That's basically what the person was looking for.

And NE Miss, I do apologize if I came off snippy, didn't mean it that way. I appreciate your trying to help out.
 
any DARK stations in a 60-70 radius of St Louis?
