Sovereign-AMC UP Deal Filed with FCC; Two Stations Spun To Separate Buyer
In the first deal, Armada Media Partners (AMC Partners Escanaba, LLC/Armada Media) is acquiring WDMJ-AM (Marquette), WIAN-AM and WJPD-FM (Ishpeming), WMIQ-AM (Iron Mountain) and WZNL-FM (Norway) from Sovereign.
In the second deal, Marquette Radio, LLC will acquire WUPK-FM (Marquette) and WNGE-FM (Negauness) from Sovereign. The FCC filing notes that the original deal was modified and a second buyer found after it was determined that AMC/Escanaba could not acquire all of Sovereign’s stations due to local radio ownership limits.
