Last week we broke the story of Zimmer Radio planning to purchase Meyer
Communications five stations in the Springfield MO market and domain
registrations pointing to format changes at least at three stations.

Since then Zimmer has confirmed to the Springfield News-Leader that they
have signed a letter of intent and are currently doing their due diligence
on the stations. We can also add that the company has registered ten more
domains for the stations, most of which read to us as decoys following the
original batch.

Plus an upcoming flip in Panama City and potential changes in Alabama and
Tulsa.
