A pair of FM radio stations in north-central Iowa will remain locally-owned following a sale.
Documents filed with the FCC indicate On The Go Media, headed by Shawn Dietz of Hampton, is buying KLMJ/104.9 (Hampton) and KQCR/98.9 (Parkersburg) from Craig and Kathleen Donnelly’s CD Broadcasting for $1.25 million.
Dietz has previously worked as an announcer and general manager of the stations.
KLMJ carries a Full Service Adult Contemporary/Classic Hits format while KQCR runs Light Adult Contemporary. The stations operate under the umbrella of larger signals from the Waterloo and Mason City markets, with additional overlap with some signals from Des Moines, Fort Dodge, and other communities.
The deal includes the station’s licenses, studio facilities, and transmission equipment, but the seller will retain a pickup truck, computer, and Iowa State University basketball season tickets.
This story has been updated to correct KLMJ’s current format based on its online playlist.
