Ham Broadcasting Company has acquired five stations from Sound Broadcasters in Madisonville, KY — some of which put a signal into Evansville, IN. The FCC granted the license transfer August 29. Included in the deal are WKTG-FM (Power Rock 93.9), Classic Country WFMW-AM (730) and three translators W235AC-FM (94.9), W290CR-FM (105.9) and W299CN-FM (107.7).

Ham owner Beth Mann (pictured) noted that the company has operated the stations under a management agreement for the last couple of months. Mann said the purchase “made sense” for her company — and not just because of geographical location. This was also about a “value system.”
