(NYSE: TSQ) ("Townsquare", the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") announced today that it has executed definitive documentation to acquire Cherry Creek Broadcasting LLC ("Cherry Creek") for $18.75 million. Simultaneously, and due to FCC ownership limitations, Townsquare will divest six radio stations in Missoula, MT, to Anderson Broadcasting, Legacy Broadcasting (a non-profit organization), and Missoula Community Radio (also a non-profit organization), and place two radio stations in Tri-Cities, WA in a divestiture trust. Pro forma for the acquisition and divestitures (collectively known as the "Transaction"), Townsquare will add assets including 35 local radio stations in nine markets, increasing its portfolio of market leading local radio stations to 356 in 74 markets.
