CUMULUS is taking back Urban AC KMJK (MAGIC 107.3)/KANSAS CITY back from the VOLT RADIO, LLC spinoff trust.  The company tells the FCC that the move-in of noncommercial KWJP/PAOLA, KS to the KANSAS CITY metro increases the number of local stations to 45, thus increasing the number of stations CUMULUS may retain.  KMJK was put in the trust for sale as part of the acquisition/merger with CITADEL.
