Sticks Media will acquire the stations for $255,000 structured with a $100 down payment, monthly installments of $4000 for 36 months, and 25% of the monthly gross sales until the combined payments reach the total. The seller can match any potential sale of the stations within five years of closing.<\/p>\n<p>The two stations will relaunch on Monday, December 8. KMSO will resurrect its former Hot AC \u201c102.5 Mountain FM\u201d identity, while KHDV will debut a new format and brand at that time replacing its former Classic Hits \u201cThe Drive\u201d identity.<\/p>\n<p>Nixon stated, \u201cThese stations have a deep history and a loyal following. It\u2019s an honor to help bring them back. A special thanks to Sheila Callahan and Max Murphy for their support, trust, and partnership.
