Posted on September 17, 2021 by Jon Ellis

Riverfront Broadcasting of Iowa, which at one time owned radio stations in five Iowa communities, is exiting the state with the sale of its Algona stations to their general manager.

Riverfront, owned by Doyle and Carolyn Becker, is selling KLGA/92.7 (Algona), KLGZ/1600 (Algona), and KLGZ translator K253BJ/98.5 (Algona) to Bernadette Merrill’s A2Z Broadcasting LLC for $1,680,512. Merrill has been the stations’ general manager since 2017.

KLGA carries an Adult Contemporary format as “Hometown Radio” while KLGZ is “Home Country.”

Riverfront has also previously sold stations in Humboldt, Webster City, Boone, and Keokuk.

Sister companies own a dozen stations in South Dakota and two in Iowa.
