There's a station in LA for sale, who could it be?

[radiojomo]

I was looking at some properties available on the Media Services Group website and I saw this in their classifieds...

Los Angeles
3 Class A FMs - Market coverage

Hmmm...
Is Joe Amaturo finally trying to get rid of the KJLL cluster?
Is Entravision finally selling off KSSE?

My bets are on the first one.

While this might not mean anything right now especially because the market right now is weak (especially for three class A signals that barely hit all of the LA region), it's definately fun to see what might possibly be a sale in the future.

Very likely to be the KJLL trimulcast.

What about Entravision selling the LA cluster? They own three class A FM stations right (97.5, 103.1, 107.1)?

Radio-Info's news page says they just axed Bill Gardner from mornings at the Amaturo stations.

No, they own one Super B (Grandfathered superpower 72 kw at 1800 feet HAAT) at 97.5, and a Super A ( 6 kw at about 2000 feet above LA Basin) and two A's, 103.1 in Santa Monica and the other 103.1 in OC.

Per their ads, they have been #1 Spanish combo (KDLD and KLYY) for last 3 weeks.

I was mentioning the KSSE/KSSD/KSSC Class A station "cluster"

The Amaturo stations cover a small fraction of the market. Yes, the Fountain Valley one has good in street (car) coverage in OC, but in buildings it sucks. The one in Thousand Oaks has lousy coverage-and the third one one is out in the middle of nowhere.
None of them can even be detected within 5 miles of downtown.

He'd be lucky to get 12 million for the three...

I can hear it in South Pas, although I don't know which tower it is, but then lose it heading into downtown.....it has patches that one would not suspect, but patches does not get you numbers. Neither does the horrific programming over the last two station managers.

Only EVC would promote a three week numbers spread....in 2008, they had two great weeks in October and all of a sudden started trying to bust through to general market ad agencies.....needless to say the numbers came back to reality then and they will now also, as the KLYY and KDLD numbers were World Cup numbers.

KLYY is part of the cluster; It has chosen to be listed by Arbitron as "Home" in LA and "below the line" in the IE market.
