Iowa Catholic Radio, which currently has two FM signals and one AM station in the Des Moines area, is adding a third FM station.
An asset purchase agreement filed with the FCC indicates St. Gabriel Communications is buying KLOX/90.9 (Creston) from Florida Public Radio for $50,000. KLOX is currently licensed for 500 Watts but has a construction permit to upgrade to 100kW, serving a large area southwest of Des Moines.
St. Gabriel is the licensee of KIHS/88.5 (Adel) and K233BT/94.5 (Des Moines) and is the parent company of Trinity Communications and Putbrese Communications, which own KWKY/1150 (Des Moines). (A separate pending application will merge Trinity and Putbrese, making Trinity the licensee of KWKY under St. Gabriel’s continued ownership.)
Florida Public Radio, a Christian broadcaster, also owns KSKB/99.1 (Brooklyn, IA) as well as five stations in Florida and three in Kansas.
