93.5 KXCD Selling To CSN International

Lee Family Broadcasting is selling 93.5 KXCD Fairfield to CSN International

"
Section 1.1(b) Excluded Assets. The excluded assets, which shall not be included in the Section 1.1 (a) Assets to be Assigned, are: (a) cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses; (b) the Seller's arrangement for Seller's use of the Station's existing antenna, transmitter, tower site; and (c) the transmitter, antenna, and other equipment of any type used for Seller's operation of the Station; (c) any assets set forth in Schedule 1.1(b) and as well as other assets not set forth in Section 1.1(a) (collectively, the "Excluded Assets").

Section 1.2 (Purchase Price). The purchase price to be paid for the Assets to be Assigned is Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($ 75,000.00) (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment as provided herein. Buyer shall make payment in full of the Purchase Price on the Closing Date by wire transfer to Seller's bank account or bank cashier's check payable to Seller. The Buyer understands that the Purchase Price agreed to by Seller in this Agreement is based upon the Buyer's non-profit corporation, religious status and commitment to operate the Station with status as a non-commercial educational Station on its licensed frequency of 93.5 mHz and accordingly if in the future the Buyer operates the Station on a for-profit basis with status as a commercial station or files an FCC application for assignment of the Station's FCC License to an entity [or individual(s)] which plan to or operates the Station with status as a commercial entity, then in that event. Buyer shall pay to Seller within thirty (30) days' of such change to commercial status by Buyer or filing of an assignment application to a for-profit entity [or individual(s)] which plan to or operate the station with commercial status, as an addition to the Purchase Price, the additional sum of Seventy Thousand Dollars ($70,000.00) by wire transfer to Seller's bank account or bank cashier's check payable to Seller, so that the total amount of the adjusted Purchase Price will be One Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($145,000.00), (the "Adjusted Purchase Price")."
 
I would love to see an updated version of CSN International's IRS Form 990. All those tower rents and station buys most cost a pretty penny.
 
Trying to figure out the legalize looks like they didn't get any transmitting equipment. Just the license.
If CSN, or whoever they might sell to in the future, convert it back to commercial, Lee gets another $70K.
 
Lee bought the license from Ted Tucker for $150,000 in 2018. (RadioInsight)

And yeah it seems from the small snipped above CSN is just getting the license only no equipment or even a tower agreement.

How well does the KXCD signal do into Twin Falls?
 
Lee bought the 99.9 KXCD Construction Permit.
The FCC was forcing KZDX to move from 99.9 to 93.5, downgrading somewhat with a directional antenna.
After Lee bought KXDC they swapped frequencies so KZDX 99.9 could stay there with their epic signal.
Basically 93.5 was allocated to Burley and 99.9 Salmon (moved to Fairfield) by MB Docket 05-210.

KIKX & KIRQ are up on Picabo hill also. They do OK into Twin Falls.
When KXCD was in Salmon it was rarely on the air from an STA low power site behind some businesses.
Should have been cancelled along with several other of the other Ted Trucker "Sky West Media" stations that were.
Sky West sold it to Cochise Media Licenses LLC as part of the FCC's actions. Lee bought it from Cochise Media.

It worked out one time when he sold KOAI 95.1 in Phoenix for $18 million. But not long after that FM tanked in value and he was left with a bunch of stations worth a fraction of what they were once were worth, many practically worthless. Then he ended up losing 10 licenses because he didn't operate them more than a few days per year or didn't have proper studios.
