Back in January 2011, when Bonneville sold 17 stations to Hubbard for $505 million, Bonneville kept four markets (Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle, and Salt Lake City) which are being run by Jeff Simpson. Bruce Reese (pictured), now as Hubbard President/CEO, and Drew Horowitz, now Hubbard's Executive VP and COO, will compete against the stations they once built up when with Bonneville.
In Seattle, Bonneville owns News Talk KIRO (97.3 FM), 710 ESPN, and 770 KTTH-The Truth. In Phoenix, the Bonnevile stations are KTAR-AM "Sports 620 KTAR," KTAR-FM, "News/Talk 92.3 KTAR," and KPKX "The Peak."
