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 and good cashflow. 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.  A SUPER NICE BUSINESS PROPOSITION!

NEW BUILD OPPORTUNITY Located in a small California community, surrounded by national parks and recreation areas and coverage of a major military base.  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".  EMAIL PRESENTATION AVAILABLE.

NEW LISTING--SILENT FM IN WYOMING:  This Class C3 FM was recently constructed in Wyoming, then taken silent.  All the owner needs to do is construct a studio and start selling.  The station is a part of a rated market.  The asking price is $250,000, cash, and the owner will consider an LMA/Option arrangement as well as other reasonably structured transactions.  There are further upside potentials to include extended coverage with translators and/or additional upgrades coupled with changes in community of license.  UPSIDE AND A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE.

NEW CALIFORNIA COAST CONSTRUCTION PERMIT:  This C.P. was obtained at auction in 2009 and while it breaks his heart, the owner has chosen to sell.  The asking price for this beachfront allocation is $250,000 and the buyer needs to be a qualified entity in order to defer any so-called "unjust enrichment penalty".  There is an existing tower site and the area served is part of a rated market and university community.  A complete presentation is available by email.  A SUPER NICE PART OF CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL COAST.

MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES IN NEW MEXICO:  It had been a "C" Class FM, then de-constructed with a construction permit to move to a rated market as a Class A.  The owner says it can also be upgraded to a C3 at the same site, and possible a C2.  There's also a construction permit for a new AM and there are three translators.  How big is your appetite?  The pockets don't have to be too deep!  The FM is priced right at an asking of $365,000; $45,000 for the AM construction permit to include the real estate 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!  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.

RATED MARKET IN NORTH DAKOTA:  This standalone FM is on the verge of being able to increase power as its first adjacency signal moves further away.  The station is a 'fun' Country station playing a blend of Hot Country and recent hits. With more than 200,000 people covered, we're talking under $4.00 per pop count and that will get better with an upgrade in class of service and power--from the existing tower site.  Asking only $795,000, the station's owner will consider carrying financing for the right entity.  AN EMAIL PRESENTATION IS READY.

PRICED REDUCED! 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 $495k with possible terms available to qualified buyers. Possible further enhancements to engineering.  Call for details.  SIGNIFICANT PRICE REDUCTION!

NEW OREGON CONSTRUCTION PERMIT:  Call for information regarding the availability of a new AM construction permit in coastal Oregon.  Filing fee, settlement fee, acquisition costs and you could be in business for the construction costs alone.  Cost to acquire:  $40,000 plus the cost to build: around $125,000.  CALL FOR DETAILS.

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!

BUILD IT YOURSELF:  There's a new construction permit available in Oregon.  The CP was just granted after a five-year wait and now the permittee just wants to pass it on to other hands.  The permit is to build a Class B facility with 1,000 watts, day and 600 watts, night.  The permittee has a handshake agreement for a tower site but you would have the opportunity to negotiate your own lease.  The asking is only $50,000.  A presentation is in the works and should be available via email within a couple of weeks.  SALE PENDING.

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 and the FAA has just agreed to an even higher tower height!  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.

NORTHERN PLAINS:  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.

PRICE REDUCED!  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 $100,000 for the combo.  Offices, studio, and tower site are leased and co-located. A full presentation is now ready for email.  

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 COMMUNITY.

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 been granted a Construction Permit to move to a new tower site.  Cost to construct in minimal and all necessary equipment is in hand.  Call us for information.  An updated Executive Summary is available for email.  Asking Price: $75,000 Negotiable or Best Offer.  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.  AMG TV affiliate with RevShare.  Extended coverage possible with adjacent LPTV which is also available for $40,000, and you build it.  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NOW AVAILABLE.

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.
