>>>Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) and CBS Corporation (NYSE:
CBS.A and CBS) today announced that the companies have entered into an
agreement by which Entercom will combine with CBS Radio in a tax-free
merger...a nationwide footprint of 244 stations, including 23 of the top 25
U.S. markets, as well as robust digital capabilities and a growing events
platform.
Unless the FCC acts super fast in lifting some ownership caps, there may
have to be a selloff. Once this deal is approved you have both major
sports stations under the same owner...the two major news-talkers, etc.
CBS: WBZ 1030, WBZ-FM 98.5, WZLX 100.7, WODS 103.3, WBMX 104.1
Entercom: WRKO 680, WEEI 850, WEEI-FM 93.7, WKAF 97.7, WAAF 107.3
