"This deal represents a financially advantageous opportunity for us to shed some of our mid-size market stations while expanding in a Top Ten market, which is our focus," said CBS CORPORATION Pres./CEO LES MOONVES
"Both of the newly acquired HOUSTON stations, KLOL-FM and KHMX-FM, are format leaders in the market," said CBS RADIO Pres./CEO DAN MASON. "We are thrilled to be adding them to our portfolio and believe they will nicely complement our four existing stations."
