The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. QPQ done. My only question is what "traded" means? Is there a Wikipedia article for that, or perhaps a different word should be used? Thanks,

Yoninah: The transactions saw the buyer acquire the radio station as partial or full payment for the TV station in some sort of swap. The description of the Amarillo one in Broadcasting reads, "KRSY(FM) Roswell, N.M.-Traded by Ray Moran to Gary L. Acker as partial payment for KJTV(TV) Amarillo, Tex. (see below)". For Richmond, it reads, "Seller recently sold WTLL(TV) Richmond, Va., to Sudbrink Broadcasting in exchange for KBCQ-KCKN".

Yoninah: Yes I do, especially since Broadcasting, an authoritative industry source, described the Amarillo transaction that way. In that case, the FM station and $325,000 were traded to buy the TV construction permit.
