Border Media has announced it will take ownership of WLGR 93.5 FM, a radio station serving Glens Falls, Queensbury and the Lake George region in New York.<\/p>\n

Border Media is owned by UK residents Ricki Lee and Hanna Kaleta, and the deal sees the couple return to the station they first owned in 2018.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time, they became the first European owners of an American radio station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The acquisition comes as Border Media assumes the station from Sticks Media LLC, owned by Todd Nixon, in lieu of a promissory note. The move is intended to maintain continuity for both listeners and local advertisers.<\/p>\n

Ricki Lee, chief executive officer of Border Media, said the transition is part of a financial restructuring but also an opportunity to invest in the station\u2019s future. Ricki said the company aims to provide stability and a strong local media presence that connects with the community.<\/p>\n

Todd Nixon, the outgoing owner, expressed confidence in the new management, stating that he believes the station is in good hands for its next phase.<\/p>\n

The transaction is pending approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Border Media is based in New York and focuses on local broadcasting and audio technology innovation.<\/p>\n
