PA Radio: Kristin Cantrell Adds To Station Purchases

Kristen Cantrell
One week after announcing a four-station deal in State College, PA, Kristin Cantrell’s Seven Mountains Media has filed a $2.05 million transaction to add three more stations to the cluster.

It will buy Top40 WBHV 94.5 FM B 94-5, Oldies WOWY 97.1 FM and Rock WEMR 98.7 FM Eagle from Nick Galli’s 2510 Licenses. They’ll be paired with four stations Seven Mountains is buying from First Media Radio for $2.075 million, including AC WZWW 95.3 FM 3WZ; HotAC simulcast of WMRF 95.7 FM Merf Radio/WLAK 103.5 FM and Talk/Standards daytimerWIEZ 670 AM.

Cantrell already owns a four-station cluster in Frankfort, KY.

But as a daughter to longtime Pennsylvania broadcaster Kerby Confer, who owns 34 stations in the state, she’s well acquainted with the Keystone State.
