Nassau and Millennium Negotiate

Several weeks ago, Millennium Broadcasting slapped a temporary restraining order on Nassau over Nassau’s purchase of WEMG-FM from Mega Communications. Since that time, both parties have been trying to work out a deal that would permit Nassau to buy the station under certain conditions. As of QuickNews deadline, no agreement has been announced. 

Star Ledger To Feature Radio

The Star Ledger Newspaper will be featuring New Jersey Radio in a major feature article, either this Sunday or next Sunday. The article will highlight the advantages of broadcast group ownership, as well as major format diversity. The Star Ledger has hired a columnist who specializes in broadcast and has written several columns, which do a good job of picturing the broadcast industry in New Jersey. Look for it.
