The contract for the sale of Religion WFME/NEWARK-NEW YORK to CUMULUS by FAMILY STATIONS shows that CUMULUS is using "RADIO LICENSE HOLDING X, LLC" to buy the station at a price of  $40 million plus Country WDVY (simulcast of WDBY (KICKS 105.5))/MOUNT KISCO, NY (WESTCHESTER COUNTY).  

The price will increase by $8.5 million if WFME can be moved to within the five boroughs of NEW YORK as a Class A or B1 facility within five years, or by $10 million if it can be moved to the city at a classification higher than Class B1.  The deal also includes a provision that if FAMILY STATIONS resells WDVY before an upgrade triggers a payment for WFME, the amount owed by CUMULUS for the upgrade will be reduced by the sale price of WDVY above $1 million.
