A pair of AM radio stations with FM translators along the North Dakota-South Dakota border is being sold to a company co-owned by a worker at one of the stations.
An asset purchase agreement filed with the FCC indicates RADD Media, LLC will pay Schweitzer Media $265,000 for KNDC/1490 (Hettinger, ND) and $370,000 for KBJM/1400 (Lemmon, SD) for a total of $635,000.
The deal includes KNDC translator K294DG/106.7 (Hettinger) and KBJM translator K285HH/104.9 (Lemmon).
RADD Media is owned by Danielle Dauwen and Adam Dauwen; Danielle is KBJM’s office manager. They have no other broadcast interests.
Both stations run full-service music formats mixing Classic Hits and Country. Programming includes local, state, and national news, ag markets, and sports play-by-play.
KBJM is the only strong radio signal in the immediate Lemmon area, while KNDC has one commercial competitor.
