Star 105 Sold for $4,7 Million — 3 Comments

  1. It’s actually $4.7 for both stations. I’m sure Star is well worth it. They do a great job.

  2. They’re not buying the humans or the local programming.

    They just want the antenna. 105.5 and 103.9 will simply relay corporate mass-programming.

    Say goodbye to all of the radio DJs there.

  3. I read that they need to sell 103.9 and will do so for $900k.

    This makes 105.5 worth $3.8M.

    Great radio station IMO.
