The station is not a core asset for Radio One and Radio One will continue to own and operate two urban format radio stations in the Columbus market: WCKX-FM (107.5 FM), which plays mainstream/urban and WXMG-FM (106.3 FM), which plays R&B and oldies.
The closing on the sale of WJKR-FM is subject to customary conditions, prorations and adjustments, including approval from the Federal Communications Commission. Radio One expects the transaction to close shortly after final consent from the FCC.
However, under a local marketing agreement, Salem will be providing programming for the station on November 1, 2012.
