Interesting item posted at Chicago Radio & Media, Larz reports Merlin Media’s investment group  and Cumulus Media have been talking ‘sale’.

Look for Cumulus to take over operations of WLUP-FM and WIQI-FM in the very near future. Do not look for WIQI-FM to stay a 90s/00s AC station or flip to Country, though.

It appears that Cumulus & CBS have an agreement to place the new syndicated CBS Sports Network on 101.1 FM.

Something public should be happening soon.
