Salem Media Group, one of America’s largest Christian media companies, has announced the sale of its remaining Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) stations for $80 million, signaling the end of an era for the broadcaster’s long-running “Fish” brand.

The deal with Salem and Educational Media Foundation (EMF), which is expected to close pending regulatory approval, would mark a significant turning point for Los Angeles-based Salem and includes seven prominent stations across the United States, many of which have long been associated with Salem’s “Fish” brand, a mainstay in Christian radio.

The stations being sold include: WFSH (Atlanta), WFHM (Cleveland), KBIQ (Colorado Springs), KLTY (Dallas), KFSH (Los Angeles), KFIS (Portland) and KKFS (Sacramento). More Here
