How Many Markets Will Overlap in the Deal of the Decade?
What happens when you have 347 stations in one pot, 225 stations in another pot and you throw them all together in one big pot and mix them together with a $2.4 Billion stick? You might think there would be a lot of overlap. Well, not so fast. And, perhaps this is one of the reasons Lew Dickey and company decided this was a deal they had to have, sorry Mr. Field. When the deal closes Cumulus will have a home in 120 markets. We looked at all of them so you can see how the two groups match up.
We've highlighted the markets in blue where both Citadel and Cumulus have stations. In Dallas, Cumulus owns KPLX, a country format and Citadel has KSCS, also country. Also in Dallas, sports station KTCK for Cumulus and Heritage News/Talker WBAP in the Citadel column. In all Cumulus has 4 in Dallas and Citadel has 2. In Atlanta, Citadel has 2 (Oldies and Country) and Cumulus has 3 (CHR, Rock and Alternative). In Harrisburg Cumulus has 5 stations and Citadel has 3. Amazingly in a deal this big, there are not too many markets where both own stations. Here is the complete list.
