WECR-FM ,WXIT (from Rondinaro Broadcasting) for $2.2 million in 2003 [http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA328916.html?q=wecr-fm] , andWMMY (from Dale Hendrix) in 2004 for $1.58 million [http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA401907.html?display=Business&q=wmmy-fm]Aisling went into
receivership and George Reed ofMedia Services Group was appointed to manage the stations until a buyer is found [Scott Nicholson, "Receivership: Local Stations Seek Buyer," "The Watauga Democrat", March 14, 2008.] .References
