Entercom And Urban One Cut A Deal

7

Entercom is acquiring three stations from Urban One: WPHI-FM in Philadelphia, Hot 104.1 (WHHL-FM) in St. Louis and 980 The Team (WTEM-AM) in Washington D.C.

In exchange for the three Urban One stations Entercom will be trading its Charlotte stations to Urban One. That includes 107.9 The Link (WLNK-FM), News Talk 1100 & 99.3 WBT (WBT-AM/FM) and WFNZ (WFNZ-AM).

In addition, Entercom will acquire the format, brand and creative assets of Urban One’s WFUN-FM “The Lou” in St. Louis, which will be moved to Entercom’s existing 96.3 FM signal (KNOU-FM).

Entercom expects to begin to operate the new stations under a time brokerage agreement on November 23rd.

  1. From a listener’s point of view, I’m glad to hear that WTEM in DC will be rid of the “dark” incompetent management that station exhibits. Seriously, it’s like the management is a bunch of ignorant baboons who don’t know the first thing about running a business. Not to mention their race baiting, and racist, lying Presidential ads they ran. Go bankrupt fools!!

    • How do you know they didn’t know the first thing about running a business?
      Give me five provable examples and your sources.

    • IGNORANT…. DARK….. BABOONS , wow, your Pale Penis Envy is showing (guess you want to go back to the old days of castration of black men and raping black women…

      URBAN ONE, is a $ 42 million enterprise….what did you make last year Mississippi Saul

  2. Look for 103.9 WPHI-FM to become all-news, simulcasting 1060 KYW, and be re-called KYW-FM Real Soon…

  3. Hmm. All and all, I’d say Urban One came out far better in this deal than Entercom did.

    While D.C. is arguably still a growth market, St. Louis and Philadelphia are not. Meanwhile, Charlotte is, by several different measures, a red-hot growth market with the shift in population to the ‘new South’.

    Alfred Liggins will be laughing all the way to the bank; David Field, not so much.
