Milwaukee and Tulsa have been sold, netting the company $28 million so far, and more announcements are coming soon according to Scripps executives. Scripps has 27 more radio stations it plans to unload and during a conference call Friday Local Media President Brian Lawlor said, “We are well on our way to divesting our radio group.” The remaining Scripps markets are Boise, Knoxville, Omaha, Springfield, MO, Tucson, and Wichita. The company plans to use the money to purchase more TV stations.
