Translator Sales
Bott Radio’s Community Broadcasting acquires 91.1 K216GL Jonesboro AR from Family Stations for $5,000 to rebroadcast its 88.9 KWCV Walnut Ridge.
Centro Familiar Cristiano sells 99.5 K258BJ Everett WA to Gerson Infante-Reina for $100 in order to allow the translator to be used to rebroadcast its Spanish Christian “93.7 Familia-FM” KLSY Montesano. As commercial band translators can only rebroadcast a station outside of its contour area if its not co-owned, this sale allows such a move.
