LR Radio Giants
Clear Channel has owned what is, on paper anyway, a major cluster of broadcast facilities which include Magic 105 and KSSN. CC also has another 100 kw Class C which was formerly KOLL 95, and the Mix and now plays a black gospel format. Citadel has owned two Class C FM stations, B-98 and Power 92 along with KARN Newsradio and the Arkansas Radio Network. Citadel has been the more successful operation from a revenue standpoint.
Clear Channel is the largest broadcast corporation in America, perhaps on earth.
The "merger" with Disney properties today in a $2.7 Billion deal, makes Citadel the third largest broadcast company.
All this means that Little Rock commercial radio will be even more entertaining, diverse, community oriented. Although it is hard to imagine it, get ready for better talent and more creative formats.
OK, maybe I am having too much fun. I wish them all well.
