A trio of Billings radio stations will soon have a new owner.
Connoisseur Media, LLC, which operates The Planet 106.7 and My 105.9, is now buying three Cherry Creek Radio Stations.
Connoisseur has already taken over ownership and management of KBLG and the Zone. Come December 1st, it will become the new owner of KRKX.
Management officials say that they are acquiring quality radio stations.
"You want to put yourself, your group, in a position where you have the most products to offer, but on the flip side, you want to make sure you're acquiring heritage stations" explained Connoisseur General Manager Cam Maxwell. "KBLG has been doing news-talk a long time. So we're excited about that. You're buying the frequency but you're also acquiring that intangible asset, you know the listeners."
Maxwell says FCC regulations allow companies to own four FM stations, so Connoisseur did not acquire KYYA, which is also owned by Cherry Creek.
