Connoisseur Media has announced its intention to purchase the stations NRG Media holds in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The stations include B107.3 (AC), News Talk 1400/99.3 KLIN, 105.3 The Bone (classic rock), Red 94.5 (CHR), and Froggy 98 (country).
The acquisition gives Connoisseur Media nine stations in the market. Currently, it owns KX 96.9 (country), MIX 103.3 (AC), 106.3 KFRX (CHR), 92.9 The Eagle (classic hits), 104.1 The Blaze (alternative), and 1240 KFOR (news/talk).
“We are over the moon to be able to add these phenomenal properties and team to our company,” said Connoisseur Media CEO and founder Jeff Warshaw. “This marriage will allow us to even better serve the community and our clients.”
“The Lincoln stations have been a very important part of our story, and we are pleased to pass them to Jeff and his team,” said NRG Media CEO Mary Quass. “Jeff is a broadcaster who shares our commitment to great local service, quality programming, and deep community connections!”
The sale of the five NRG Lincoln stations comes after the company previously sold 10 stations in Wisconsin to Midwest Communications earlier this month. That followed the sale of the company’s Omaha cluster. Currently, NRG Media still owns clusters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Ottawa, Illinois.
