Entercom Now Running WBEB/Philly
• Entercom Communications Corp. has officially taken over operational command of heritage AC WBEB (101.1 More FM)/Philadelphia, via a Time Brokerage Agreement (TBA) with Jerry Lee Radio, LLC. The TBA went into effect on Thursday, August 9 and follows Entercom’s recent announcement of its agreement to acquire WBEB-FM.
“I am excited to welcome WBEB, one of the country’s most recognized and awarded stations, to our portfolio of Philadelphia radio stations,” said David Yadgaroff, SVP/Market Manager, Entercom Philadelphia. “The addition of WBEB will be a great complement to our lineup that already includes KYW Newsradio 1060, SportsRadio 94WIP, WTDY (96.5 TDY), 98.1 WOGL and Talk Radio 1210 WPHT.” The purchase of WBEB-FM is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2018.
As was previously announced, Beasley and Entercom already entered into a Time Brokerage Agreement on July 23 with Country WXTU/Philadelphia, which Beasley is re-acquiring from Entercom for $38 million in cash.
