5-8-13

After announcing he's selling Elmira/Corning and Olean in upstate New York to Bruce Mittman's Community Broadcasters, Drake's Backyard Broadcasting now says it has an agreement to sell its Muncie Indiana cluster. The Buyer is a new group formed by J. Chapman called Woof Boom Radio who said, "I believe that radio is an effective and unmatched way for those with a message to reach listeners. Radio works when it's authentic and local. You can hear passion and you can't fake it." No dollar amount was announced for the deal that Kalil and Company brokered. This leaves Drake with one cluster of stations in Williamsport, PA.
