I think your analysis is solid.  As for anti-trust enforcement, the proper
market definition would be advertising in that area.  Even when defining the
market broadly, this deal could raise some concerns.

The FCC requiring the company to shut down the AM is kind of silly.  I know
the AM was 100% simulcast but that might not always been the case.
