Just south of Louisville, EMF will purchase 99.3 WKMO (https://www.goradioheartland.com/nash-icon/) Lebanon Junction KY from Commonwealth Broadcasting for $410,000.

EMF is also purchasing Wheeler Broadcasting’s Oldies “Sunny-FM (https://key985.com)” 98.5 KEYG-FM Grand Coulee WA for $150,000.
In August 2019, EMF and iHeartMedia announced a swap of thirteen translators (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/179512/iheartmedia-emf-swap-thirteen-translators/) with one on each side to be held for a later closing. That time has come as EMF has filed to swap 103.9 W280DO Lexington KY to iHeart for 98.3 W252CM Nashville TN.
