Deal Digest: Zimmer Upsizes In Springfield, Magnum Grows In La Crosse.
Springfield, MO – Zimmer Communications has filed a $1,241,444 deal to buy rock “Q-92.9” KQRA, sports “102.1 The Won” KOSP, classic rock “104.7 The Cave” KKLH and classic country “105.1 The Bull” KOMG from Mid-West Family Broadcasting. Under the agreement, Zimmer will finance the acquisition with a seller-financed promissory note totaling $1,241,444.
