Eastern Shore Stations for Sale

I know WIJK 1590 AM and two translators was for sale in Ocean City. See the above post. Couple of AMs around DC for sale as well. Can't help past that.
 
I have heard that 97.5, 92.5 and 1320 in the Salisbury may be on the block. This leaves the 97.1 the Wave, which may be moved to Milford with their southern Delaware stations.
 
Great Scott stations up for sale? I hear they will split with WZHB & Big to one buyer, 107.7, 3 other fm's to another. Is Clear Channel still looking to dump it's Salisbury stations?
 
Great Scott Stations were indeed sold today:

Minneapolis, MN – September 19, 2014: Great Scott Broadcasting has agreed to sell the majority of its radio cluster in Salisbury – Ocean City, MD to Adams Radio of Delmarva Peninsula, LLC.
