Mario500 3 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 As mentioned at the end of their 10:00 PM newscast, WKRG made a new radio deal with four radio stations owned by Clear Channel of Mobile. The announcement came after an employee luncheon at the WKRG building where TV5, WKSJ-FM, WNTM-AM, WRKH-FM, and WMXC-FM operate. Two of the stations (WNTM and WMXC respectively) were formerly known as WKRG-AM and WKRG-FM prior to October 1994, when the family of the original owner of TV5 sold their radio division more than a year after the founder's death. This deal was made possible by the sale of WPMI by Clear Channel Communications. WPMI recently made a radio deal with Cumulus Broadcasting to provide news to stations owned in Mobile. I would not be surprised if WKRG's current owner Media General decides to purchase the former WKRG radio stations from Clear Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
