A pair of Christian radio stations in southern Iowa is being sold to two different broadcasters.
According to FCC filings, Community Broadcasting is buying KQLF/88.3 (Ottumwa) from Sound in Spirit Broadcasting for $20,000. Meanwhile, Good News Radio is buying KMDY/90.9 (Keokuk) for $50,000.
KQLF and KMDY currently simulcast as “Lift FM.” The stations carry Christian teaching and preaching programs during the day and Praise and Worship music in the evening and overnight hours.
Community Broadcasting is headed by Richard P. Bott and its stations carry the Kansas-based Bott Radio Network. The network has dozens of stations around the Midwest, including one in Keokuk and two in northwestern Iowa.
Good News Radio owns ten full-power stations in Illinois operating as “Great News Radio.”
“Lift FM” is also currently heard on W272AL/102.3 (Fairfield), which is owned by Fairfield Monthly Meeting of Friends and is not included in either deal.
