South Florida Public Media Group is one step closer to growing its radio holdings. The Federal Communications Commission has approved an application the group filed to buy urban AC “The Flame 104.7” WFLM West Palm Beach from JDD Radio. In doing so, the FCC rejected a petition filed by South Florida public media powerhouse WLRN that had sought to deny the transfer.
“After careful consideration of the record, we find that grant of the application is not inconsistent with the public interest, convenience, and necessity,” Audio Division Chief Albert Shuldiner writes in the eight-page decision. He says that many of the issues that have been raised in the dispute are a private contractual matter, better resolved in the Miami-Dade County, Florida, court where the two sides have also been laying out their case.
