Hearing from a good source that before the end of 2011 SBS will purchase a full power fm station. I know all stations are for sale for the right $ but who needs it the most at this time?? Would Univision or Cbs sell?

You mean Univision. SBS has been Univision for quite some time. They are going to purchase KHPT 106.9 from Cox. That is why they are simulcasting the Eagle right now. The station will flip to Regional Mexican after sale (10th Station unless 106.5 signs off for FM) by Fall of 2011. If rumor has it, 106.5 will go dark and 106.9 will replace 106.5
Identnut said:SBS tried markets in Texas, but with bad results. I'd doubt they'd try again.
DavidEduardo said:Univision recently spent millions upgrading 106.5 and it is a much better signal than 106.9 as witnessed by its very big ratings over the last few years.

My bad, I got Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation HBC mixed up with SBS. HBC was owned by Techinor, Univision acquired HBC.
SBS is a totally different company than Univision; SBS has had issues like a potential NASDAQ delisting and it's improbable that they buy any radio stations. While SBS has expanded its Mega TV operation, they are buying relatively low cost LPTV facilities that get them on the cable...

Univision can not add a station; it has the market limit for radio and TV.
