For the second time in recent weeks, NRG Media is spinning off stations to Usher Media. This time, it is selling five stations in the Omaha-Council Bluffs, Nebraska, market. It’s the fifth downsizing move by NRG Media in the past year and a half.
The latest spin-off will see Usher buy hot AC “Sweet 98.5” KQKQ, rhythmic CHR “Power 106.9” KPOW, “News Talk 1290” KOIL, sports “1620 The Zone” KOZN, soft AC “Yacht Rock 1180” KZOT in market No. 74.
“This acquisition is a statement of belief in Omaha and in Nebraska,” said Alan Usher in the announcement. “Local radio matters. Local leadership matters. We are committed to building a broadcast presence that reflects the strength of this community and delivers real value to the businesses and people who call it home.”
