M Street öurri June 13, 2001 Serving Radio Since 1984 Vol. 18 Issue. 20

Big enough to go it alone Clear Channel stunned the Big

Apple when it pulled out of NYMRAD,

the New York Market Radio Association

(a story the M Street Daily fax broke dune

II). Simply put, Clear Channel believes

its now big enough to go it alone in

New York when it comes to promoting

radio as an advertising medium. The

effects on NYMRAD are still unclear.

There's a June 28 board meeting

scheduled, just before CC's scheduled

duly I pullout. But coming on top of Viacom/Infinity withdrawing from the

NAB, Clear Channel demonstrates that

things really are changing in a

fundamental way. CC Radio chief Randy

Michaels has been saying it. So has Mel

Karmazin. The playing field will never

look the same.

15 I Regional consolidators gain traction - and investors

In a brief 5 -day period, Charlie Banta's Millennium Radio Group committed $200M to buy 8 stations in

New Jersey from Press and Nassau.

That's on top of the 3 Atlantic City stations and I LMA that Millennium is

acquiring from Citadel for $20M. Banta's not alone in his strategy of creating a "state -wide distribution system ", as he tells M Street. But he is

being more public about it than most:

Regional consolidators like Keymarket,

Commonwealth and Pamal are choosing to keep quiet about their intentions - so as not to alert potential sellers. Lenders love the selling and programming efficiencies promised by

regional consolidators. And for many

operators - it's the only way to compete

with giants like Clear Channel (now

operating in nearly everyArbitron -rated

market), Infinity, Citadel, Cumulus, Cox,

and the other "big guys."

Infinity bets on talk and rock

M Street For-

mat Trend: The ballyhooed signing of Opie &

Anthony isn't just another syndication deal. Infinity has committed to putting the afternoon drive team into 22 of its markets, virtually blanketing the top IO

markets.

There's a second ingredient in

the "talk and rock" mix: The also - ballyhooed re- signing of currently - syndicated Don & Mike. For some longtime Infinity rockers, that means a

decided shift away from a music identity (probably rock or classic rock) that features a talk -based morning show (maybe Howard Stern). To something that more closely resembles talk - but

talk that's targeted at 18 -49 males. We're

already seeing it at Infinity rocker WYSP

Philadelphia (94.1), which was the first out -of -town station to add Opie &

Anthony in afternoon drive.

Slight delay: The FCC won't take up newspaper -broadcast cross -ownership this month. That's despite the fact that a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking got bumped from the May

monthly meeting agenda at the last second. The

time's still not right and the item is not on the

agenda for the June 20 meeting. Why not? Two

new Commissioners are still getting their feet wet

(Abernathy and Copps), and the third isn't even

in the buildingyet (see the next story). We do

expect the FCC to launch a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking on the rule forbidding newspapers

from owning radio or TV in the same local market.

But it won't be out until Chairman Powell feels

it's ready.

Oops: There was a little White House oversight about new FCC Corn. Kevin Martin. Unless Bush acts to fix the problem

with a quick recess appointment to cover the days

between now and July I, Martin can't start his

new job until July - even though his nomination

was approved by the Senate along with Kathleen

Abernathy's and Michael Copps. Here's why:

Both Abernathy and Copps' are technically assuming the remaining portions of existing terms

(for Harold Furchtgott -Roth and Susan Ness).

Martin was supposed to be nominated to serve

both the last month of departed Chairman Bill Kennard's term, and his own separate 5-year term,

beginning July I. Somehow, the Senate voted to

approve only Martin's own term, not the balance

of Kennard's. Abernathy and Copps have already

moved into their 8th floor offices and begun naming interim staffs. Martin may be conducting the same activities - but not at the Portals. Meanwhile. Furchtgott -Roth and Ness have now

ended their service at the FCC.

Yes, Virginia, there's no indecency crackdown (with apologies to the little girl who asked about the existence of Santa). That's right, despite the notoriety of the FCC's

$7,000 fine against Citadel's KKMG, Pueblo, CO

for playing a radio edit of Eminem's "Real Slim

Shady" -M Street hears that the Commission is

NOT hell -bent on some new crusade to clean up

the airwaves. It will deal with complaints as they're

presented. And the KKMG fine demonstrates that

the Commission won't let a licensee hide behind

the argument that it was playing the record label's

"radio edit" of a potentially offensive song. It's

always, always, always the licensee who is

ultimately responsible.

After 17years, the FCC finally resolves the nighttime interference Question for WTOP, KSTP and WLQV. They all share the same

frequency - 1500 KHz, and the same dilemma

of a metro that has grown outside of the station's

nighttime directional coverage. Around 1984,

they applied for permission to allow greater "mutual interference" in their nulls, and a

relaxation of the strict clear channel AM rules.

Finally, the FCC has notified the licensees their plan is being accepted. All three will benefit:

Bonneville's WTOP, Washington, D.C. picks up

coverage in suburbs like Montgomery County,

MD. Hubbard's KSTP. St. Paul adds areas like

Woodbury, MN and western Wisconsin. Midwest's WLQV, Detroit gains coverage around

the Motor City with a new 10 -kw authorization. WTOP's problem grew so severe that it bought

an FM to cover part of the Virginia suburbs, then

also began simulcasting WTOP on the Frederick -

licensed 820 that it owns (WXTR).

A IS year fight over a new FM in Asheville, NC has an unexpected O.Heniy ending. The

Zeb Lee family takes a stunning loss, as the FCC

reverses the findings of its own Administrative Law Judge and Review Board to award the CP for

a class A at 96.S to Liberty Productions - which

received a substantial loan from Cumulus in 1999.

This is the famous "Biltmore Forest" case, named

after the city of license, and its produced some

of the most bizarre sights we've witnessed inyears - including at one time, two parties broadcasting

on 96.5 at the same time. Bottom line: Orion

Communications, started by Zeb Lee and

continued by his family after his death. loses

again. Two other parties are also out. Liberty

gets the CP, as the FCC accepts its winning auction bid of $2,336,000. The station is actually

on the air now as rocker WZLS, operated temporarily by Orion through an STA. FCC

Commissioner Gloria Tristani strongly dissented

from the decision, claiming it "renders our rule

against misrepresentation almost unenforceable."

THE TAYLOR REPORT

Cumulus removes an albatross from around

its neck by reaching a settlement agreement over class action lawsuits. Terms are better than

some expected: Cumulus agrees to pay

$13 million cash and 240,000 shares to settle its class action suit with shareholders. And insurance will cover

more than half the cash portion of the

settlement ($7,250.000 of the $13 million). The shareholder lawsuits started piling up

as soon as Cumulus made that infamous

March 16, 2000 confession about re-

stating revenues and expenses for Q. Q2

and Q3 of 1999. Still to come: a final

"stipulation of settlement" and approval by

a judge. Now it's up to CEO Lew Dickey

to produce results that will build confidence among still -jittery shareholders.

CUMULUS

WCBS won't win any MARCONI Marconis in New Orleans AWARDS on September 7. Neither will WINS, KNX, KMOX, KDKA, WCCO. WWI or KYW. We're 100% sure of that, because all of those fine

stations are owned by Infinity - and Viacom/Infinity pulled its membership from the NAB earlier thisyear, and thus is

ineligible to participate in the Marconi voting. Somebody jokingly compared the

competition to the 1980 Olympics. where

the U.S. boycotted the Olympics because

of the Russian invasion of Afghanistan.

That's being cruel to the good stations owned by Clear Channel, Cox, Citadel and

plenty of others. But even the list of Legendary Station nominees looks a little odd, by historical standards: KNIX, Phoenix; KSL, Salt Lake City; WDAF,

Kansas City; WHAS, Louisville: And WQXR, New York City. That's two for Clear Channel, one for Bonneville, one for

Entercom, one for the New York Times.

Ballots mail to NAB members in early July

and they're due back to KPMG Peat

Marwick by August 6. Read up on the

final nominees in 22 categories at

"NAB.org."

Arguments are breaking out over how to report revenues to third parties like Miller Kaplan. M Street hears that some managers are squabbling about reporting (or not reporting) Non Traditional Revenue

(NTR) from station concerts and events,

and income from off -air activities like

dating services. There's also the Question

of how to treat network revenues and sports

revenues. The arguing has gotten public in Los Angeles: Infinity declined to report its pacings for one week. (Though contrary

to the gossip, it didn't withhold monthly revenue figures.) We hear that George

Nadel Rivin at Miller Kaplan is working on

a new uniform revenue reporting standard.

Southern California Broadcasters Association exec Mary Beth Garber tells

M Street that consistent reporting standards for revenues are "good for advertisers, good for stations, and good for Wall Street."

Like to eat those "pickled pigs feet "?

(Ughl) Then you'll love this year's $100,000 award -winning radio ad. And if you find that questionable delicacy a little disgusting, you'll also enjoy DDB/ Chicago's very funny "Pickled Pigs Feet

Eater" ad for Bud Light, which wins this

year's $100.000 Radio Mercury Award.

DDB /Chicago also won the top prize last

year, making it the first back -to -back winner in the IOyears since the RAB and

the Radio Creative Fund launched the

Mercurys in 1982, with the objective of encouraging agencies to pay more attention to radio. The RAB's offering a

CD with all 48 of the finalists, for delivery in mid -July. E -mail "Mercury @RAB.com"

or call 212 -681 -7212. M Street enjoyed

the sentiments of Lifetime Achievement Award Winner Stan Richards, of the Dallas -based Richards Group: "Radio is

such a marvelous medium for a writer." He

can't fathom why agencies "tend to discount radio" in their creative output: "The senior guy does the TV, but the kid

who joined three weeks ago" is assigned

to write the radio spot.

RIP, veteran broker Kevin Cox. Kevin was

one of the brokers from the Chapman firm

who split in 1990 to open Media Services

Group. Before doing brokerage work Cox

had been a VP at NBC Radio Network and

Executive VP of RKO Radio Reps, and

station manager at Metromedia's WIP,

Philadelphia. Media Services Group reports Kevin Cox died at his home in

suburban Philadelphia after a long battle with ALS: Lou Gehrig's Disease.

TRANSACTION BRIEF The following items are based on recent, noteworthy ownership- transfer applications filed with the FCC. The information is based on FCC contracts filed with the Commission and made public within the last few weeks. Market and revenue information is based on data culled from Duncan's American Radio and from M Street's own databases. The transactions are arranged in descending order of sales price. When known, broker notices are included.

New Jersey: Charlie Banta's Millennium Radio Group makes two

major strikes in the Garden State - #1, Millennium pays $110M for 3 NJ stations from Press

Communications. Those are hybrid talk/oldies "New Jersey 101.5"

WKXW, Trenton, a class B at 101.5. Its south Jersey simulcast partner

WBSS -FM, Millville. a B at 97.3. And adult standards WBUD, Trenton

at 1260 (5 -kw day, 2.5 -kw night, DA -2). Banta's Millennium Radio

Group already has a toehold in New Jersey with the pending $20M

purchase of Citadel's cluster in Atlantic City, which M Street expects

to close around July I. Does $110M sound like a boatload of money?

Garden Staters believe WKXW bills in the mid -teens, and is a major

player in most of the wealthy state's Arbitron markets, from Monmouth -

Ocean ( #49) to Middlesex- Somerset -Union ( #33) and Trenton ( #139).

#2, Adding to its new base of "New Jersey 101.5" WKXW, Millennium wraps up the Jersey Shore with the $90M pickup of 5 stations from

Nassau Broadcasting Partners. The properties: Hot AC "The Point"

WJLK at 94.3, a class A licensed to Asbury Park. Adult standards

WOBM at 1160, licensed to Lakewood, with 5000 watts day. 8900 night, DA -2. AC "Ocean" WOBM -FM at 92.7, an A licensed to Toms

River. CHR "B98.5" WBBO at 98.5, an A licensed to Ocean Acres.

Adult standards WADB at 1310, licensed to Asbury Park (the onetime WJLK -AM). with 2500 watts day 1000 watts night, DA -2. We won't be

surprised if the FCC throws red flags at these deals. The proceeds

should nearly relieve Lou Mercatanti's Nassau of debt, as Nassau

concentrates on central New Jersey, Allentown, PA and the Philadelphia

area.

Bryan- College Station, TX: Clear Channel fills out its cluster

with the $2.5M acquisition of KBMA, Bryan (99.5). Class A "La

Fabulosa" pulled a 4.9 share 12+ in the Fall 2000 Arbitron for Bryan -

College Station, TX - but the FCC red -flags this sale to Clear Channel.

CC currently holds two other stations there: country "Aggie 95" KAGG,

with an 11.3 share. While AC KKYS scored even higher, with a 17.6.

Tejano KBMA is being sold by Felix Torres's Mexican American Communications

Eau Claire, WI: David Nelson files to buy a sixth station, and

it's the CP for a new class O FM at 99.9. Nelson's acquiring the

Construction Permit for the Cornell, WI- licensed station from Lawrence

Busse for $403,200. Nelson's currently running a 5- station cluster

that includes "Wax 104" WAXX, a recent Marconi winner and double - digit -share country station. Competitor Clear Channel just filed to

acquire classic rock WISM -FM - its 7th station in Eau Claire.

Northern Michigan: WHST, Tawas City (106.1) will go non-

commercial when Northern Christian Radio takes over. WHST has

been doing hot AC as "Mix" for seller Northern Radio Network, but

the buyer is asking the FCC to re- license it as a non -commercial station

to be operated as a satellite of its religious - formatted WPHN, Gaylord.

MI at 90.5. Buyer also owns WOLW, Cadillac at 91.1, run the same

way. Seller Northern Radio Network still has other stations in Michigan.

such as WHAK -AM/FM, Rogers City and WHSB, Alpena.

Bridgeport, CT: Brokered -time specialist Otto Miller buys WDJZ

(1530). Otto previously managed stations in New York City for Arthur Liu's Multicultural Broadcasting. and he's been buying (and sometimes

selling) his own stations since he struck out on his own. This $425,000 deal is for 5 -kw daytimer WDJZ, licensed to Bridgeport. CT. It's already

doing Spanish -language religion and ethnic programming for seller

Candido Carrelo. Looks as if Carrelo retains WFNW, Naugatuck, CT,

which gets much of its programming from WDJZ. Miller owns

Baltimore -area WJSS and Alexandria's KTTP.

Western Kentucky: Hart County Communications buys its first

FM. That's "Kickin' Country" WKNK, a class A at 99.1 licensed to

Edmonton. Seller is Metcalfe Communications (Judy Crabtree), and

buyer is Hart County Communications, which has classic country WLOC, Munfordville, KY. Principals of Hart County are Dewayne

Forbis, James Tapp, Mary Shelton, Preston Thompson and Terry Shelton,

and they're paying Metcalfe $350,000. There's an LMA prior to closing

on WKNK.

Duluth- Superior: Duke Wright's Midwest Communications buys

the Shockley stations from breakup specialist Roger Ohlrich. In January

Roger bought all the Shockley radio and TV stations from husband

and wife Terry and Sandy Shockley. He spun the Rochester, MN Fox

TV back to them, sold their Wisconsin TV properties to Quincy Newspapers - but kept the six radio stations in Duluth- Superior.

Now they're going. Here's what Duke Wright gets: full- service KDAL.

Duluth at 610. Soft AC KDAL -FM, Duluth at 95.7. Rock KRBR,

Superior at 102.5. "Cat Country" KTCO. Duluth at 98.9. Sports WDSM,

Superior at 710 KHz. And Radio Disney affiliate KXTP. Superior at

970. There was an immediate LMA. Kalil & Co. brokered Ohlrich's sale of the radio stations, just as it did the Shockley -to- Ohlrich transaction.

Chicago, IL: Jon Yinger's Midwest Broadcasting takes over WAUR

as part of a $4M purchase. This is the station that Brad Saul hoped to

buy for the Radio Center for People with Disabilities. But now Catholic

Radio Network deals WAUR to Detroit -based owner and broker Jon

Yinger for $4 million. Yinger starts a one-year LMA and has the option to purchase WAUR at any point during the next 12 months. It's got

2500 watts day, 4200 night, DA -2.

After looking at seeral options, we decided on the VADIS platfo-m and DC consoles from KLOTZ. says John Decker, Chief Engineer, Capstar Communications, Tucson. "Why? First, our install would be much faster since most of the plant wing could be reduced to a simple Ethernet line and a fiber optic cable connecting each room with our rack room.

"Secondly, all tour stations were to be housed in the same facility, and we had to share audio sources all around he plant. This is a function that is part of the KLOTZ system. Our entire plant is now based on a digital audio back- bone' that provides an improved audio signal.

We also purchased five DC consoles. The air talent finds the CC consoles simple to operate. They can put any source in our plant on any fader of the console with a simple LCD button in the meter bridge. Giving the operator the ability to call up any source to a fader is rtt.

Raunch, Hoaxes and Payola Yes, radio is a whipping boy

again: "The media" - newspapers and TV - are happy to say negative things about the radio industry, and lately radio's

supplied plenty of fodder. Such as: The FCC's $7,000 indecency fine against KKMG, Pueblo, CO for airing the radio edit of Eminem's "Real Slim Shady." The L.A. Times' allegations of more payola

investigations. Kramer & Twitch's phony report about Britney Spears and boyfriend Justin Timberlake being killed. And we

haven't even mentioned the wild pig in

Tampa. All those stories have been

printed in papers in the U.S., Canada and

around the world. But maybe the public

Kramer r& Twitch isn't as shocked as it used to be: syndicated columnist Bob Greene says

about the payola stories, "Nobody cares." And just two weeks after Clear Channel's KEGL, Dallas fired Kramer & Twitch, Infinity's WKRK -FM, Detroit hired them

for a better airshift. Makes you wonder why folks used to get upset over the remarks of a guy named Howard Stern...

Like Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day" movie, EEO just won't go away

The federal courts keep knocking down the FCC's attempts at crafting EEO

recruitment and reporting rules that can

pass constitutional muster, but the Commission - now led by Republican Chairman Michael Powell - keeps coming back for another replay. The full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has just rejected the FCC's request for partial review, and

Powell vows to return for another try before the end of theyear. He's looking for regs that "increase employment opportunity in a manner that complies with the judicial limitations." For now, state broadcasters associations have won their battle. But just like "Groundhog Day ", they'd better be prepared to rewind, and

do it all over again.

The Big Two Clear Channel (with a

MIDuncan -estimated I $3,794,000,000 in 2000 revenues) and Infinity

($2,495,000,000) are clearly the Big Two radio groups to emerge from Jim

li11110,LllIl Rad Duncan's analysis

of 2000 radio revenues. #3 is Cox Radio - with $482,000,000, less than one -fifth the size of #2 Infinity.

Radio's level of consolidation made the spotlight thanks to a Washington Post column signed by Senators Fritz Hollings (D -SC) and Byron Dorgan (D- ND). They said that just four groups control 90% of the nation's radio revenue.

And warned that other industries shouldn't be allowed to consolidate the way radio has.

They even called it a

"frenzy." Fritz Hokgs(D-SC) (tfrc" °^lo-r°9 Duncan shows that the Senators' analysis is way off: The Big Two have about 37% of the pie. And the top four (adding Cox and ABC) are

certainly big - but they did about 42.2 %.

Not 90 %.

Don't tell Chairman Powell he's pro - business. He's quickly gotten sensitive to that charge. In fact, ending the newspaper -

broadcast cross -ownership ban is just one of the controversial issues Powell has taken heat

on from consumer groups and Democrats in

the 5 short months that he's been FCC

Chairman. At the June 21 Federal Communications Bar Association luncheon

Powell fired back: He said "Everything we do

is about consumers ", and "deregulation for its

own sake is not responsible policy."

Federal courts may be leaning toward deregulation. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rules that Sinclair gets to keep

its TV duopolies, for now. This is important

because it demonstrates again that the federal

sascourts are ready to blow up some of the

Surum BROADCAST GROUP FCC's long -held rules

about media ownership. Sinclair was facing

an FCC divestiture deadline of August 6 - but it won a stay from the appellate court,

allowing Sinclair to retain its LMAs in Dayton,

Charleston, SC, Columbus, OH and Charleston, WV. The courts previously invalidated the FCC's cable ownership caps,

and Viacom wants them to blast away the FCC's

35% national TV cap.

Virgin Islands operator Family Broadcasting moves a step closer to license revocation. The Commission rejects

Family's Petition for Reconsideration on

procedural grounds and continues to threaten

Family with a Show Cause order leading to possible license revocation. The FCC found

both technical problems (operating WSTX -FM,

Christiansted at 100.3 from an unauthorized

location) and problems with misrepresentation. Principal Gerard Luz A. lames asked to let he and his wife convey all

their stock in WSTX and WSTX -FM to their

children. The Commission says Family is just

trying to stave off a possible fine of as much

as $275,000 and revocation of both licenses.

Hardball in political advertising: On the eve

of the New Jersey

gubernatorial primary, y Republican candidate + Bret Schundler threatened

radio stations with legal

action if they took an ad Bratsax,naer alluvia :org

from his competitor. Schundler's attorneys

warned stations they'd face legal consequences, according to the NI

Broadcasters Association. It faxed out a

reminder that federal law requires broadcasters

to run commercials from candidates, and they

can't be sued for doing so. Schundler was

fighting allegations of Republican primary rival

Bob Franks that he'd used money from a

scholarship fund for his own campaign

purposes. The upshot: Schundler whipped

rival Bob Franks, S7% to 43 %.

infinity's not in the NAB - and that hurts the association in the pocketbook. The NAB misses the dues Mel Karmazin was

paying, even though NAB exec John David tells

the Radio Board that

membership is at

near -record levels

and it continues to add members. But

the new

memberships don't make up for the Mel Karmazin, Assoaated Press

loss of Infinity, because big stations in big markets pay stiffer membership dues than

daytimers in unrated markets. Karmazin and

Sumner Redstone pulled Viacom out of the

NAB because of the TV Board's position on

the 35% national cap, and Infinity radio fell

under the heading of "innocent bystander."

THE TAYLOR REPORT

Clear Channel's return to streaming (using Hiwire) is focusing attention on

broadcasters streaming on the

web - as opposed to the Internet -only radio stories most papers have been writing about. That's because its such a big

return - 250 stations in the top SO

markets. That could help transform the

marketplace and create a more visible

ad medium. The big "hiccup" in

streaming occurred in April with the

agency and buying service demands

about AFTRA- talent spots. Now CC

and others are plugging in ad- insertion

solutions to get back online.

hiwire

Now that #6- ranked group Citadel has gone private in a $2 billion acquisition by Forstmann Little, expect it to go into acquisition mode- and to fortify current markets.

The June 26 closing (at $26 a share)

happened just as planned, and we

expect C tadel's Larry Wilson to get

back into action. The new Duncan

rankings put Citadel's 2000 revenue

at $368 million, with 204 stations - just behind #5 Entercom at $392 million.

The rhythmic oldies format took another major- market hit. Greater Media bowed to the ratings and knocked

off "Jammin' Gold" WEJM in

Philadelphia at 95.7. It replaced the

O'Jays and Motown with a hot AC

named "Mix." And in Pittsburgh. Clear

Channel laid off four staffers at

rhythmic oldies WJJJ (104.7), though

keeping the format in place and using

lots of cyberjocking from other markets. Clear Channel has kept rhythmic oldies on stations like WIJJ

and New York-market WTIM (105.1), but

has adjusted the approach much closer

to urban AC. New York is now "The

Heart & Soul of New York" and

featuring soul classics.

Arbitron will ARBITRON rate Mexico City beginning this Fall. Its Arbitron's first syndicated

radio measurement outside the U.S.,

and it has enough support to pull it off from both Mexican station owners and

agencies (many of them Mexican affiliates of giants like BBDO, Leo

Burnett and McCann). M Street notes

that at presstime, Arbitron still hadn't

renewed its #1 U.S. client, Clear Channel, in many of its U.S. markets.

But Clear Channel -affiliated Grupo Acir is supporting the expansion to Mexico

City. The first quarterly book there will be Fall 2001, delivered in February

2002. And catch this: Arbitron is

employing 100% electronic delivery of the estimates. No printed books.

Role model for Clear Channel? Jacksonville is putting TV, outdoor and II radio stations under one roof in a new 120,000- square foot facility.

Is this the future for Clear Channel, at

least in some markets? The new facility

will house two TV stations (Fox

affiliate WAWS -TV, Channel 30 and

UPN affiliate WTEV, Channel 47). The

7 radio stations that Clear Channel

owns, including country FMs WQIK

and "Rooster" WROO. The 4 stations

that Clear Channel sells via a Joint Sales

Agreement with Mark Jorgenson's

Concord Media. And they're building a new 30,000 -square foot building behind the current TV facility to house

CC's local outdoor operations.

RIP, Maurie Webster and Norm Goldsmith. The industry has lost two

old friends - and if you didn't know

either Maurie or Norm yourself, you probably know somebody who has a

6- degrees -of- separation kind of relationship with them. Maurie Webster worked at CBS Radio Network, was president of the New York

Market Radio group (NYMRAD) for IS

years, and mentored plenty of younger

broadcasters. While talented and

colorful sales trainer and former group

head Norm Goldsmith died after a heart

operation in Napa, CA - and left $15,000 for his pals to have a party

with.

TRANSACTION BRIEF The following items are based on recent, noteworthy ownership - transfer applications filed with the FCC. The information is based on FCC contracts filed with the Commission and made public within the last few weeks. Market and revenue information is based on data culled from Duncan's American Radio and from M Street's own databases. The transactions are arranged in descending order of sales price. When known, broker notices are included.

Macon -to- Atlanta, GA: Radio One's buying WPEZ, Macon (107.9) for $55M and moving it northwest to Atlanta. That news came after Radio One blew up the urban AC "Magic" format on one

of its two existing Atlanta FMs (WAMJ, Roswell at 107.5), and took it smooth jazz. Now it appears Radio One may be creating another place

to park the urban AC format: Move -in WPEZ, which will re- license from

Macon to Hampton, GA and downgrade from a CI to a C2. Seller is U.S.

Broadcasting, which got FCC permission for the technical change on

January 4 - and now is reaping the benefits. Radio One begins an LMA- to -buy with WPEZ on September I and will presumably debut its new

format then. George Reed and Tom McKinley of Media Services Group repped U.S. Broadcasting in the sale.

Springfield, Illinois: Clear Channel buys Ben and Sam

Stratemeyers' 80s -based WXAJ (99.7) for $2.8M. WXAI is a recent Class B sign -on licensed to Hillsboro, IL, south of the state capital of Springfield, and northeast of St. Louis. Seller Union Broadcasting is

comprised of brothers Ben and Sam Stratemeyer. Separately, Ben and

Sam are dealing their dance -CHR WKIB, Anna, IL to Withers for $2

million. Both deals were brokered by Greg Guy of Patrick Communications.

Frankfort, KY: Clear Channel buys 5 stations from Commonwealth for $3.8M. Commonwealth is one of those quiet regional consolidators we mentioned in the June 13 M Street Journal, and it's a little surprising that Glasgow, KY -based Brereton Jones and

Steve Newberry are dealing away this cluster in their home state. The

stations are oldies WFKY at 1490 (I -kw fulltime, ND); all -news WKYW, a class A at 104.9; AC "Star" WKED -FM, a class A at 103.7; oldies WCND, Shelbyville at 940 (250 -w day, 10 -w night); and "Thunder Country" WTHQ Shelbyville, an A at 101.7.

Bangor, ME: Clear Channel shifts WGUY (102.1) to Mark Jorgenson's Concord Media. We'd bet the divestiture in Bangor (Arbitron market #274) is related to Clear Channel's $3.75M deal to buy standards WABI (910) and CHR "B97" WWBX from Charles Hutchins' Gopher Hill Communications. CC may need to divest WGUY to make the Gopher Hill deal work. Oldies "Y102" WGUY is a Class C2

at 102.1 and it did a 2.8 share 12+ in the Fall Arbitron

Lexington, KY: Lynn Martin acquires Jack Mortenson's "Star 92" WSTL, Carlisle (92.1). Will Martin keep WSTL doing contemporary Christian? It's one to watch. His current Lexington- Fayette stations include sports WLXG (1300), hot AC WCDA (106.3), AC WGKS (96.9) and (pending closing) urban WBTF. Something else to watch: a pending upgrade to make WSTL a C2 facility. Meanwhile, Blue Chip must find a

new buyer for Lexington- market WLXO, Stamping Ground (96.1). Lynn

Martin was originally supposed to acquire both of Blue Chip's Lexington

FMs (WLXO and WBTF). But the FCC local- ownership rules force him

to choose, and Martin will buy WSTL and pass on WLXO.

Victoria, TX: Clear Channel pays $650.000 for Tejano KVLT

(92.3). That gives CC a third FM there, alongside "Kix 108" KIXS

and classic rock KLUB. The new addition to the family is KVLT, which

the seller picked up only a little more than ayear ago for $350,000. Now Gerald Benavides' Paisano Communications deals the Class A facility to Clear Channel. Broker: Bill Whitley of Media Services Group.

Amarillo, TX: KPQZ (100.9) goes into receivership, for the

second time In less than fouryears. Court -appointed receiver Roger

Cox is asking the FCC to transfer control of the company that owns

KPQZ, Mandujanoy Asosiados, to him. That's pursuant to a Texas

state court receivership proceeding. The irony is that Socorro Mandujano

and her group themselves acquired the station out of receivership, in a

deal with then -receiver Robert R. Sanders. That was in 1998. Class CI

KPQZ is doing a variety of Spanish -language programming, and pulled

a 2.7 share 12+ in the Fall Arbitron.

Linden, AL: The court- appointed receiver sells Bishop Willis - owned black gospel WNPT -FM (102.9 MHz) for $450,000. This

had to be a two -garter, because of the FCC rules about who's eligible to

take a license. #1, WNPT -FM buyer Jason Schmitt gets the FCC license

from receiver Beckham Palmer Ill. #2, Schmitt buys the physical property

from Bishop Willis' main creditor, Ellis Parker. Parker picked up the

tangible property of class C2 facility WNPT -FM, Linden, AL in a

foreclosure sale on February 27.

Parkersburg, WV: Recent sign -on WVVV (96.9) sells for $1.3M. Interesting for a couple of reasons: Buyer Bennco just sold in-

market oldies WDMX to Clear Channel. And the station Bennco's

buying is a product of a recent FM Auction: WVVV, licensed to Williamstown, WV. Seller is Ronald Bishop. Bennco had to certify to the FCC that there's no "unjust enrichment" in the $1.3M deal, since

Bennco had the same bidding credit as Bishop.

Tampa, FL: Salem buys a second Tampa AM for $6,750,000 and will launch a new simulcast. Salem will throw the 570 KHz now

known as WTBN into a simulcast with the 910 KHz facility it acquired in

a swap with Cox. Here's the latest sale: Salem pays Mark Jorgenson's

Synchronous Media Group /Concord Media $6.75M for WTBN, Pinellas

Park, FL. It's a low- end -of- the -dial signal at 570 with 5 -kw day and night,

but directional full -time. And the directional characteristic of the signal

is what allows Salem to simulcast it with its existing Tampa -area AM, the Plant City -licensed 910. Salem will change calls on the 910 from

WSUN to WTWD as it goes into the simulcast. Salem says the new

format will use its Christian talk and teaching format, to be known as

"Central Florida's Word." It begins an LMA with the 570 on July 16.
