Urban One is growing in Dallas. The company has agreed to acquire Service Broadcasting Group, LLC, adding radio stations KKDA and KRNB to its portfolio.
As part of the deal, Urban One will sell station KZMJ to Fuzion Dallas, LLC.
Both transactions require FCC approval before closing.
The move strengthens Urban One’s presence in one of the country’s fastest-growing radio markets. It also signals a clear consolidation play for the company.
CEO Alfred C. Liggins, III didn’t mince words about the strategy.
“This transaction is accretive and advances our consolidation strategy by scaling our presence in high-growth regions where our target audience is most concentrated,” he said. “We are elevating our ability to serve our audience and our advertising partners with unmatched scale and local expertise.”
The acquisition gives local advertisers a bigger, more connected platform to reach Dallas audiences. Urban One says listeners will receive same community-driven programming the Radio One brand is known for — now across more frequencies.
Regional VP Doug Abernathy emphasized the importance of the people behind the product.
“By aligning our best-in-class team with these new platforms, we are securing the future of local radio in Dallas and ensuring we remain the primary source for news, entertainment, and connection for the communities we serve.”
The companies have not set a closing date.
