Eight FM translator stations carrying Christian programming in Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota are changing hands in two separate, unrelated transactions.
The University of Northwestern-St. Paul is buying seven translators from International Church of the Foursquare Gospel in a $5,000 deal.
- K296DS/107.1 (Alliance, NE) and K219LV/91.7 (Hemingford, NE) will continue to carry programing from Northwestern Contemporary Christian outlet KSLT (Spearfish-Rapid City, SD) via its satellite KSLP (Fort Pierre, SD).
- K276DM/103.1 (Chadron, NE) and K292EC/106.3 (Hot Springs, SD) will switch from KSLT to Northwestern “Faith Radio” outlet KLMP (Rapid City).
- K293BN/104.7 (Bowman, ND), K295BR/106.9 (Dickinson, ND), and K274CC/102.7 (New England, ND) will carry KSLT programing via satellite KSLS (Dickinson, ND). The translators had previously carried KTPT (Rapid City) but went off the air after KTPT went silent earlier this year when a sale split it from KSLT and KLMP.
Elsewhere, The Praise Network is selling K237DV/95.3 (McCook) and the construction permit for a new 500-Watt station on 88.1 in McCook to Tri-State Broadcasting Association for $30,000. Tri-State operates three stations in North Platte and seven FM translators in the region.
K237DV currently relays The Praise Network’s KGCR (Goodland, KS) and will switch to Tri-State’s KJLT-FM/94.9 (North Platte).
The sale comes shortly after Christian broadcaster MyBridge Radio reached a deal to buy KNGN/1360 and K252FV/98.3 (McCook), which went off the air at the end of June.
