Radio's Next Buyers and Sellers Tuesday, March 1, 2011 By Jerry Del Colliano You’ve asked me to handicap the top radio groups to project whether they are buyers or sellers and in this article, I’ve done that. This piece reveals … 1.  Is Emmis a buyer or seller in light of legal headaches and a small platform?  2.  Entercom – what if the Citadel deal never happens?  Is Entercom a buyer or a seller? 3.  The fate of Radio One in light of a potential Cumulus takeover of the radio industry. 4.  Then how does Clear Channel react if the Dickeys become the new Mays family?  Buy or sell? 5.  Cox is a great operator but can it survive more consolidation as a relatively small group?  I’ve got your answer right here. 6.  The old Bonneville – the one owned by the Mormon Church – are they going to sell the markets they held back from the Hubbard deal or operate them into the future? 7.  And what of Hubbard once they close on the 17-station Bonneville acquisition.  They’ve got Bruce Reese to run it, and Reese’s top managers.  Is Hubbard eyeing something bigger? 8.  CBS – Lee Moonves has said he’d like to sell some stations and hasn’t.  Will he in light of a potential Cumulus-Citadel merger that could change everything. 9.  Saga has the least amount of debt and keeps cranking out cash flow.  Will this small to medium market company feel Lew Dickey’s breath breathing down its back? 10.  Salem?  I have a hunch. This article gets specific about how the main players in radio consolidation could be affected if the landscape suddenly changes and Cumulus becomes the new Clear Channel.
