The owner and manager of Broadcast Industry Group LLC has agreed to sell a trio of AM radio stations in Arkansas — along with their respective FM translators. The buyer may sound familiar to those following the future of a collection of AM and FM properties associated with Monte Spearman's HPRN Network.

The JIC said each of the three providers met the JIC's baseline threshold for transactability across Total Households, Advanced Audiences and Personified Demographics. The evaluation was conducted by data, analytics and research leaders representing media agencies, national TV publishers and independent consultants.
