Multicultural Handing Over WSAH To Trustee In the wake of credit defaults, Arthur Liu's Multicultural Television Broadcasting is now turning over the last of the five stations it acquired from Scripps to trustee Lee Shubert for liquidation. Multicultural bought the stations in 2006 for $170 million.

The move came to light in FCC filings yesterday seeking transfer of the station, which is actually licensed to Bridgeport, Conn., to Shubert. Earlier, Shubert took control of four other Multicultural stations on behalf of the creditors. So far, he has sold two — WRAY Raleigh-Durham, N.C., and WOAC Cleveland — to Radiant Life Ministries. He is still looking for buyers for WMFP Boston, KCNS San Francisco and now WSAH. Multicultural, owned by Arthur Liu, bought the five-station group from Scripps in 2006 for $170 million. Liu also owns a large radio group, but KHIZ Los Angeles will be his only remaining TV station. -- ======================================== George Antunes, Political Science Dept University of Houston; Houston, TX 77204 Voice: 713-743-3923 Fax: 713-743-3927 Mail: antunes at uh dot edu _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
