Now, investors have seemingly reacted to the newspaper report.

The television industry is pausing to pay its respects to Glover, who has unexpectedly passed away. Most recently associated with KCAL-9 and KCBS-2 in Los Angeles, Glover's death was announced Wednesday morning by CBS Los Angeles. 

In June 2017, media broker Richard A. Foreman shared the news that all of Radio Vermont Group’s radio stations were up for sale. This would end the Squier family’s time as a radio station owner, which began in 1935. In January, employees of the radio stations were told that a buyer has emerged. Now, an asset purchase agreement finalized in October has finally arrived at the FCC.

Come late January, a new FCC will take shape as the U.S. Senate and White House shifts to Republican control.

Should the "AM Radio In Every Vehicle Act" fail to gain Congressional approval in the remaining weeks of what is now a "Lame Duck" session, a reintroduced bill could carry itself through to passage in 2025.

The individual who maintained oversight of broadcast media properties across all of Lilly Broadcasting's markets has retired, with November 4 serving as his final day at the Erie, Pa.-based privately held licensee.

It was predicted by some, but wholly unexpected by many still digesting the results. Donald J. Trump will be the 45th and the 47th President of the U.S. come January 20, 2025. What this could mean for broadcasters is monumental, as the Rosenworcel Commission will be coming to an end, along with Democratic control of the upper body of Congress.

From the Hawaiian Islands to New England, dozens of stations within the iHeartMedia family have parted ways with employees on multiple levels of the audio content creation and distribution company's core radio broadcasting unit. Among the casualties is the Market President for Raleigh-Durham, and the Boston Region President.

On or about October 13, an individual with equity interest in a collection of New Hampshire radio stations passed away. This led a family member of the now-deceased sole owner of the stations to petition the state Probate Court to make him a special administrator of his estate. Now, the FCC is being asked to approve the plan.

"What percentage of the costs are coming out from just the news part, in particular?" That was just one of several questions analyst Craig Huber had for the Scripps leadership team during its Q3 earnings call on Monday, as Lisa Knutson completed her final earnings call as Chief Operating Officer.

Challenges abound for publicly traded radio broadcasting companies. And, they're continuing for Beasley Media Group.
