WILL CONSIDER EQUITABLE SWAPS!  Rated Colorado Market--New Construction Permit at 100kw: Acquired during auction and then granted an increase in class of service, this CP is now ready to be constructed as a 100kw Class C1.  Current "as-is" price is only $400,000.  Plans for the new transmitter building and tower are in place.  Contractors have been identified.  Seller has other business interests which could be met by an equitable swap for a buildable permit or on-air station in certain geographical areas of the country.  This CP is readily buildable inasmuch as the tower site already has a conditional use permit.

NEW BUILD OPPORTUNITY Northeastern California Class B1 with mountain top site ready for a "build to suit".  This station had been on-the-air until it lost its tower site.  No problem.  Seller now has a construction permit with an upgrade in class of service.  A local developer is ready to build the site and do a lease-back for reasonable dollars.  All station equipment is intact, but you might have to purchase a bigger transmitter and heftier antenna.  There are also two translators which had carried the station and which would be ready to do so again.  Station will lie between two larger service areas, one a ski resort the other a growing community.  The asking price is only $100,000 "as-is".  A presentation is available, just give us a call.

NEW LISTING IN NORTH-CENTRAL U.S.:  Nice and clean AM.  Non-directional, full-time.  Sports Format, Network and Local.  All real estate included:  office/studio/tower site.  Low overhead means positive cashflow.  Near-new equipment.  Asking only $325,000 for the entire package.  Presentation available via email, call (805) 237-0952.

ARIZONA COMBO:  Beautiful part of the State with excellent tourism and a stable local economy.  Asking $1.2M if terms; $1.050M for cash; and the real estate is available to purchase, lease/option, or lease.  Good advertising and NTR streams, good cashflow, and a reasonable multiple. A full presentation is now ready for email, but you can call for full details any time:  (805) 237-0952.  Good revenue, cashflow, and a strong mix of advertising sales and NTR.  This is a nice, clean operation and truly shows pride of ownership.  Very Nice Business Proposition!

GREAT STARTER STATIONS:  These two stations are located in the Northwest and until now they were in a caretaker situation pending a move of an adjacent station into a larger market.  Now the stations are available for purchase at $150,000 for the combo.  Offices, studio, and tower site are leased and co-located. A full presentation is now ready for email.  

GREAT D.I.Y. PROJECT:  This construction permit for a new Class C1 station in the Southwest is just ready to be constructed and put on the air.  There is an existing tower site with tower and building ready to lease on commercially reasonable terms.  The permit itself has until March, 2011 to be done so there's plenty of time.  Asking $250,000 for the CP and we need an eligible entity to safeguard against an unjust enrichment penalty OR buyer pays the penalty at closing.  Other transaction structures are under consideration and an LMA/Option may do the trick depending on terms and conditions. 

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LAKE COMMUNITY:  Will Consider LMA/Option Deal Structure.  Two FMs and one AM serving this small market boating, rafting, and fishing country.  Very nice facilities.  Year 'round population better than 25,000 with maybe a million seasonal visitors!  Sales are strong with low overhead.  Neat place to visit and/or live.  Close to multiple rated markets but isolated from below-the-line signals.  Room to grow with the right sales-oriented, broadcast-savvy owner.  Asking $495,000 and seller is willing to carry financing or enter into an LMA/Option leading to a purchase.  Motivated Sellers.  Visit.  Make an offer.  Solidly established in the market.

NEW LEASE ON LIFE:  New Mexico Non-Commercial:  This FM is a non-commercial facility on a reserved frequency with a secular format (that means "oldies").  Beautiful part of the Southwest with mountains, lakes, ski resorts and a unique blend of people, lifestyles, and languages.  Format is a blend of Oldies and Classic Rock with a non-commercial approach to underwriting and revenue generation.  The station is operating with reduced power, but the owners have just made arrangements to locate to a new tower site (pending FCC approval).  Call us for information.  An updated Executive Summary is available for email.  Asking Price: $59,950.  Perfect situation for NCE and studio waiver. 

CP IN NORTH DAKOTA:  Asking $200,000 or would entertain a joint development offer.  This is a CP for a Class C0 facility (100kw).  Tower site has been secured and a tall tower is on-site, ready to be erected.  Signal will reach rated market.  Approximately two years remaining on the CP.  Possible upgrade via a new tower site, still within the fully spaced area to locate, yet closer to rated market.

LPTV IN NORTHWEST.  Outstanding situation in Northwest Quad Communities.  LPTV has completed a total makeover project.  Excellent facilities in a 5,000 sq. ft. building which is included in the deal.  Studios, edit bays, offices, production rooms, automated video, and it's all included in the asking price of $525,000.  Equivalent to the #196 DMA.  JCTV and A1 affiliate with strong local sports and news.  Extended coverage via networking agreement with adjacent LPTV.  Executive summary available.

RECENTLY REPOSSESSED.  CLASS C1 WITH BOOSTER.  Within top 100 ranked markets.  Located in the Northwest, this station and the booster have now been put back into operation after being silent for almost a year.  The stations were recovered after a foreclosure situation.  Better than a construction permit!  All offers given serious consideration, LMA/Option is possible interim deal structure until buyer has proven his ability to make payments.  Call for specifics.

NEVADA NON-COMMERCIAL CHRISTIAN OPERATING ON A COMMERCIAL FREQUENCY:  This Christian FM operates on a commercial frequency with a FM1 booster.  There is partial service into the adjacent rated market and there may be a way to extend coverage further.  The sellers would prefer to see the station go to another Christian group, but that is not a pre-requisite.  Asking is $495,000. Terms may be available to qualified buyers.  Call for details. 

MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES IN NEW MEXICO:  There's a "C" Class FM, a construction permit for a new AM, several translators and even an LPTV.  How big is your appetite?  The pockets don't have to be too deep!  The FM is priced right at an asking of $395,000; $50,000 for the construction permit and you build it; and the rest are reasonably priced as well.  Team the FM with one or two of the translators and you're suddenly serving a nearby rated market!  Different licensees/permittees, but it's a very friendly situation.  An executive summary is available by email.  This definitely requires an owner/operator who knows how to put it all together.  Call or email for details.

NORTHWEST AM STANDALONE:  Truly a mom 'n' pop operation.  According to Radio Locator, there are no other AMs within listening distance and there are no FMs within 30 miles with the exception of one translator and on construction permit that the permittee is probably looking to re-locate.  This is a great starter station and a good opportunity to be the local broadcaster!  The Asking price is $150,000 with terms available to a qualified buyer.  Call for details. A new mom 'n' pop is needed.

CALIFORNIA CENTRAL COAST:   Class A FM serving unique and upscale central coastal area.  Unique office/studio arrangement, impeccably constructed.  Great upside potential for the right independent owner/operator.  Operates within a rated market and situated adjacent to three metropolitan communities.  Construction was just completed on a transmitter site move accompanied by a four-fold increase in power.  Asking price is $800K with possible terms available to qualified buyers. Possible further enhancements to engineering.  Call for details.  Upgraded--More Power!

TERMS AVAILABLE ON THE OREGON COAST: Two FMs in the same market.  Small market, owner/operator opportunity.  Currently absentee owner with good local management.  Nice facilities, well-constructed and operations are completely integrated with each other.  Currently showing a positive cashflow!  Currently billing $15,000 to $20,000 per month with operating expenses less than $8,000 per month.  Asking $1M with terms available to qualified buyers.  Call for details and/or questions.  Seller will consider reduced price for all-cash!

NEVADA BOOMTOWN: This Class C1 facility is just waiting for an owner-operator to step in.  The station underwent recent upgrading and installation of new equipment to include studio/production and transmission.  The asking price is $450K with terms possible to a qualified buyer.  The market is the site of a recent discovery of oil (29 capped wells just waiting for a refinery) and the planned construction of two power plants give all indications that this area is about to explode with growth.  Housing is at a premium and the local developers are having a field day.  Tremendous growth potential for the station includes the ability to increase power by another 28kw or so.  New transmitter and antenna recently installed.  Contact MCH Enterprises for details.  Serious Price Reduction!
