*What’s a new radio signal worth in 2021? For some broadcasters in NERW-land, well into six figures, at least based on the initial rounds of bidding in the FCC’s Auction 109 offering construction permits for open FM channels around the country.
The auction opened Tuesday and continues today, at least for the handful of permits where there’s still competitive bidding going on. (The big prizes so far? A class B frequency in Sacramento, where iHeart led at the end of Friday’s bidding with just over $5 million, and a class C3 north of Dallas, at over $3 million.)
CYBER MONDAY AND GIVING TUESDAY (GIVING TO YOU)!
And we have two deals for you.
You can buy the Tower Site Calendar for $1 off, which applies to all the add-ons.
And if you order the Broadcast Historian’s Calendar and add on the Tower Site Calendar, you get $2 off.
The sale runs through December 2.
Don’t wait. Order your calendars today.
If you already ordered the tower calendar, please email me and I’ll help you add it on.
Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the new calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
