Entercom gets Jerry Lee's More FM
and WXTU goes to Beasley

It was less than 18 hours before the public announcement of the purchase of More FM by Entercom and Entercom, in turn, selling WXTU to Beasley Broadcasting. We were there, 60 of us, visiting the three music stations of Entercom here in the Philadelphia Metro Market. We visited WXTU, WTDY and WOGL.

The sales are expected to be completed by the beginning of October of this year. Jerry Lee is a former President and former board member of Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia. Member Jim Loftus is currently president and CEO of More FM. Member David Yadgaroff is Senior Vice-President and Market Manager for Entercom Philadelphia.

This July Broadcast Pioneers event took place on Wednesday, July 18th. It was a FREE tour of the three music stations of Entercom Philadelphia (formerly the CBS Radio Stations). The address is 555 City Avenue, 3rd floor in Bala Cynwyd.
