MULTIPLE OWNRSHIP SHOWING Independence Rock Media, LLC
INDEPENDENCE ROCK MEDIA, LLC KEGE(FM)/KHEX(FM) ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE APPLICATION DECEMBER, 2020 MULTIPLE OWNRSHIP SHOWING Independence Rock Media, LLC (IRM) has reached agreements with the widow of the late broadcaster Tom F. Huth to acquire a total of nine primary broadcast stations that operate in four separate markets: Red Bluff-Gerber, California (Tehama County): 1. KBLF(AM), Red Bluff, California, FIN 48853 2. KRAC(AM), Red Bluff, California, FIN 54978 3. KTOR(FM), Gerber, California, FIN 82891 Susanville, California (Lassen County): 1. KAJK(FM), Susanville, California, FIN 162465 2. KGXX(FM), Susanville, California, FIN 183357 3. KLZN(AM), Susanville, California, FIN 160277 Hamilton City-Concow, California (Glenn and Butte Counties): 1. KHEX(FM), Concow, California, FIN 31618 2. KEGE(FM), Hamilton City, California, FIN 164155 Willows, California (Glenn County): 1. KIQS(AM), Willows, California, FIN 34941 There is attached as Figure A a map of northern California prepared by engineering consultant Kevin Youngers of Greeley, Colorado which shows the city- Page 1 of 4 grade contours of these nine stations, that shows the four separate market areas. Tehama, Lassen and Glenn Counties are outside Nielsen rated “radio metro markets”. Butte County is in the Nielsen-defined Chico, California radio metro market. The Hamilton City-Concow market appears to implicate both methods of determining a radio market under FCC rules and policies. Neither KEGE nor KHEX appears to have a city-grade contour which includes the city of Chico, and KHEX is licensed to Hamilton City, which is in Glenn County, which is believed not to be in any Nielsen-radio market.
