Sage Weil and Mike Crute’s Civic Media continues its rapid expansion across Wisconsin with the purchase of Oldies 1590 WGBW Denmark/97.9 W250CV Green Bay and 1520 WLAK/93.9 W230DA New Holstein WI.
Mark Heller’s Metro North Communications will receive $937,000 for the pair. The deal continues Civic Media’s rapid expansion across the state of Wisconsin. Upon closing of all of its pending deals, the company will own eleven stations with its shareholders also holding stakes in two others.
Civic Media has also expanded its flagship Liberal Talk format to two more of its stations. Upon the close of its purchase of Fruit Broadcasting’s Standards 1450 WRCO/107.7 W299CD and Country 100.9 WRCO-FM Richland Center last week, the company relaunched WRCO/W299CD as “News From The Center” under new WRCE call letters.
The Time Brokerage Agreement of Silent 1260 WXCE Amery ahead of the purchase of it, Country “Thunder 95.7” WDMO Baldwin and 910 WCBN Hayward sees that station relaunch as “Lake Air Radio“.
