Civic Media to Acquire Iowa Stations from NRG Media

Civic Media – via its Iowa subsidiary Cedar Basin Media, LLC – is acquiring NRG Media’s Cedar Rapids and Waterloo radio stations, including news/talk KXEL-AM, Waterloo. The other signals are KFMW-FM and KOKZ-FM in Cedar, plus KPTY-AM, and FM translators K263BZ, and K297BS in Waterloo. Civic Media is based in Wisconsin and operates stations there as well as in Minnesota and Michigan. Cedar Basin Media says, “Cedar Basin Media is a radio group built on a simple premise: communities deserve stations that are actually of and for them – good information, real conversation, and people on the air who live here, too.”
