Entercom Spins The Sound + 2 To EMF
“We have made great progress towards the completion of our merger with CBS Radio and this agreement with EMF brings us one step closer to the finish line,” said David Field, President and CEO, Entercom. “We remain on track to close the CBS Radio transaction later this year and confident in the value-creating opportunities presented by this transformational combination.”
Rocklin, CA-based EMF operates the K-LOVE and Air1 radio networks specializing in Christian AC music. EMF CEO Mike Novak commented, “We are particularly excited to see what God has in store for the people of Los Angeles, through our new station, Positive & Encouraging K-LOVE at 100.3 FM. The people at Entercom have been a joy making this purchase possible.” As of today, EMF owns and operates some 770 FM stations and translators.
As of right now, the immediate future plans of iconic L.A. rock jocks “Uncle Joe” Benson, Rita Wilde and Cynthia Fox remain unknown, along with those of Sound morning duo Andy Chanley and Gina Grad. Longtime Sound PD Dave Beasing will announce his plans soon.
