"YOUNGSTOWN , Ohio -- Radio giant Clear Channel Communications has sold two radio stations licensed in Lawrence County, Pa., to Forever Broadcasting Inc., a 34-station radio company based in Hollidaysburg, Pa., and a third Lawrence County station to Forever's operating affiliate, Keymarket of Pennsylvania/Ohio LLC, a 10-station group.The total sale price was $2.85 million, according to license- transfer documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission.The three radio properties are WKST, a news-talk-sports station at 1200 AM; WBZY, a music-of-your-life oldies station at 1280 AM; and WJST, an adult contemporary music station at 92.1 FM.While employees learned of the sale last week, it was not officially confirmed by Forever Broadcasting until today. "It's business as usual," says Carol Logan, president of Forever Broadcasting. Each station is maintaining its format and staff, she adds. The only exception is "one of the station managers who elected to stay with Clear Channel."While Forever Broadcasting is tiny compared to the more than 1,200 radio stations Clear Channel operates, the company has a big presence in central and western Pennsylvania. It dominates the Johnstown-Altoona-State College, Pa., corridor with 13 radio stations, as well as the Meadville and Franklin, Pa., area where it operates 10 stations. Forever Broadcasting recently acquired WICT-FM, licensed in Grove City, Pa., which Clear Channel had been leasing from Youngstown Radio License LLC of Charlotte, N.C. The terms of that acquisition, $2.275 million, involved Clear Channel assigning to Forever its rights to purchase the station from Youngstown Radio License, a unit of Bain Gocom, the Boston venture capital company that was a major investor in WKBN-TV's former parent company.The jettisoning of WICT to Forever enabled Clear Channel to avert potential problems with the FCC, which had previously voiced concerns about ownership concentration in the Youngstown-Warren radio market. As a result, Clear Channel received FCC go-ahead to purchase WNIO-AM, WNCD-FM and WAKZ-FM from Youngstown Radio License LLC. (Clear Channel had been operating WNIO, WNCD and WAKZ under a lease agreement.)Forever's Logan says the Grove City station, WICT-FM, will be marketed in a advertising sales "cluster" that will include the three Lawrence County stations. All will be managed from her company's Meadville offices. "We're thrilled to have these stations under our banner, and we expect them to be successful," she says."
