Aisling Broadcasting's website, goblueridge.net has a post up which says that Aisling may have found a buyer for their six-station "cluster"(gosh, that word just seems to stick out, doesn't it?). Aisling Broadcasting is currently operating in receivership.
Curtis Media Group--the possible buyer--says that it is comprised of 19 stations in North Carolina, several around the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Foothills Media of Lenoir would partner with Curtis on the deal, should it come to fruition.
Are you hoping that maybe Aisling may change their lineup if the purchase of the "cluster" goes through? You know--to serve the obvious and growing progressive Boone-area radio market? Well...
A quick perusal of some of the syndicated talk programming carried on the current Curtis stations doesn't really offer much hope. There's plenty of Rush, plenty of Savage, Hannity---the standard hard right fare.
Come on guys. How about some Stephanie Miller?
