[edit] Buyout of CBS Radio stations in Slow Markets
On August 21, 2006; Entercom has agreed to buy 15 radio stations in slower markets from CBS Radio. Locations included Austin, Texas; Cincinnati, Ohio; Memphis, Tennessee; and Rochester, New York.[2] However, due to ownership limitations set by the Federal Communications Commission, Entercom had to sell off 3 of its radio stations in the Rochester market.[3]
[edit] ABC Radio Purchase Attempt
Entercom was one of 4 broadcasting companies in a bid to buy The Walt Disney Company's ABC Radio unit [4], but was outbid by its competitor Citadel Broadcasting. Had Entercom gone through as the highest bidder, it would have to sell of all of its small market holdings.
