Multiple sources are reporting a group co-managed by former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has purchased the now-silent Waller cluster for a reported $1.2mm.

Will be very interesting to see how they will be formatted.

Here's another story about the purchase. It sounds like the CHR and Mexican formats may be returning.

Any updates on this story? Hearing any testing going on?

I have an update, Dudley Waller Jr. filed FCC oppositions to the sales. I haven't read them, but I'll look at one and let you know.

I had heard they were supposed to sign on Tuesday.

IDK what will happen with this informal objection. Looks like more family arguing.

I had heard this was a volatile situation but wow.....just...wow.

Can you make sense of it? Looked like a bunch of complicated legal stuff to me, didn't want to decipher the code.

I read all 85 pages of Bill's Informal Objection.

I'm no lawyer, but I smell something fishy in that water.

CHR "Fun 95.3 and 102.3, Where Hit Music Lives" just started broadcasting Friday.

103.1 will remain a Spanish station, but 94.3 will be going country.
