WASHINGTON, D.C.—Next week, AM radio station operators will be able to apply for FM translators. With that window opening up, the market for FM translators is on the rise.
Radio + Television Business Report examined the “price creep” issue with Womble Carlyle Telecom attorney John Garziglia. He said prices for FM translators are increasing.
“FM translators, now a quasi-commodity with the ability to move up to 250 miles to carry an AM station, until now were changing hands in a $20K to $40K range. Recently, some sellers are reportedly holding out for prices of $50K or more,” Garziglia tells Radio + Television Business Report.
