Saga Communications has entered into an agreement to purchase WOGK(FM), WNDT(FM), WNDD(FM), and WNDN(FM) from Ocala Broadcasting Corporation. All the stations serve the Gainesville-Ocala, Florida, radio market. The price was just over $9 million.
Saga CEO Ed Christian said, “A number of years ago we let the Dix family know that these stations would be a great fit for Saga. It’s not often you get the opportunity to buy stations from the fifth generation of the founding family. We see a lot of opportunity with these stations and these markets. We are pleased that the family has decided to entrust Saga with continuing their long-standing heritage of serving the Gainesville-Ocala region with market leading WOGK (K-Country 93.7) and the WIND classic rock trimulcast. Saga intends to continue building its business in radio by identifying and acquiring middle-market stations in dynamic communities.”
