Central Pennsylvania's lone NPR member radio station and its PBS-aligned TV station sibling is now under the control of the dominant public media entity serving the Delaware Valley. As such, it has named a new General Manager for the PBS and NPR member stations serving the home of Penn State University.

An asset purchase agreement has been agreed upon that would see the transfer of control of an AM radio station and its companion FM translator end up in the hands of an individual tied to a reborn "WDGY" — an early rock 'n' roll-era Top 40 station in the Twin Cities. A West St. Paul, Minn., FM translator is also included in the deal. 

Forever Media, which has engaged in the sale of radio stations in Delaware, Ohio and the Keystone State in recent times, has agreed to part ways with two more properties. Both stations have FM signals serving the "Mon Valley" region due south of Pittsburgh. Who's the buyer in this deal brokered by Michael J. Bergner?
