Connoisseur Media agrees to sell its five South Dakota radio stations to Brookings Radio, LLC, locally owned and operated by Cami Powers, her husband Derrick Powers, and Chad Hogie.  Brookings Radio, LLC will acquire KBRK-AM and KBRK-FM licensed to Brookings, KDBX-FM licensed to Clear Lake, and farm news formatted KJJQ-AM and KKQQ-FM, licensed to Volga.  The transaction is pending regulatory approval by the FCC and is expected to close in early summer of this year. Connoisseur Media CEO Jeff Warshaw states, “The Brookings market did not fit into the long-term vision we set out for Connoisseur. As we pursued a potential sale, we looked for local quality operators to purchase these stations and found that the best operators in the market already worked for us! This is not the first time we have encouraged some of our local management to break into ownership so that they could continue to serve the communities we are so committed to. We are incredibly happy that Cami and her group stepped up to the challenge.”
