5x expanded by Raymie (talk). Self-nominated at 07:18, 3 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

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 (talk) 23:04, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@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". Raymie (t • c) 23:59, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Raymie: I see. So do you think "traded" is the best word? It could have the connotation of stock-market trading. Yoninah (talk) 00:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@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. Raymie (t • c) 00:18, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so we'll go ahead with it. Hook refs verified and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 01:00, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
