Times Co. Agrees to Sell WQXR Radio
The New York Times Company will sell WQXR-FM to WNYC Radio and Univision,
the companies announced on Tuesday, in a complex deal that preserves WQXR
as the only station devoted solely to classical music in New York City,
but that could alter its characte
[It's a clumsy 3-way trade]
Under the deal, WQXR would trade places on the dial, and transmitting
equipment, with WCAA, at 105.9, a station owned by Univision, a major
Spanish-language broadcasting company. Both stations broadcast from atop
the Empire State Building, but WQXR would give up its 6,000-watt signal
for WCAA's signal of about 600 watts.

obwnn: About two years ago, after a decade of "leasing" the
station to Radio Disney, yes, as in the corporate owners
of ABC, the NY Times sold them the station "formerly known
as WQXR AM". (It was renamed WQEW when the lease started).
