Connoisseur Media has announced it has agreed to sell its stations in Luverne, Minnesota and Madison, South Dakota to Christensen Broadcasting.
Included in the sale are KLQL-FM and KQAD-AM in Luverne, Minnesota, which will be sold to Christensen Broadcasting LUV LLC, while KJAM-FM and KJAM-AM in Madison, South Dakota, will be sold to Christensen Broadcast Group.
“Luverne and Madison are markets that did not fit into the vision we have for Connoisseur,” said Connoisseur Media founder and CEO Jeff Warshaw. “We looked for local operators that we felt had experience in these communities and could serve them best. We are very happy that Christensen Broadcasting shares our values and stepped up to the challenge.”
“We are grateful for the opportunity to strengthen locally focused broadcasting within these communities,” a statement from Christensen Broadcasting reads. “Our organization remains committed to delivering reliable, community-centered programming that reflects the values and voices of the region. We look forward to honoring each station’s legacy while supporting their continued growth and service.”
Both locations are within one hour of the Sioux Falls market.
