Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBGI), a large- and mid-size market radio broadcaster, today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Radio Nevada Corp.'s KDWN-AM 720kHz station in Las Vegas for approximately $17 million. In addition, Beasley Broadcast Group purchased 27 acres of land from Radio Nevada Corp. for $5 million. This property was the subject of an option to purchase in the original asset purchase agreement. KDWN's broadcast tower is located on the acquired land in Henderson, Nevada. Beasley Broadcast Group funded the purchase of KDWN-AM and the land with $16 million of additional borrowings under its existing credit facility with the balance paid in cash. George G. Beasley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., commented, "In addition to building our presence in the fast growing Las Vegas market, KDWN is the only station in Las Vegas that boasts a 50,000 kilowatt signal. As such, KDWN can reach more listeners than any other station in the market and represents an outstanding platform for talk radio programming." In addition to KDWN, in the Las Vegas market the Company currently owns 104.3 The Coyote KYCE-FM, Classic Rock 96.3 KKLZ-FM and Star 102.7 KSTJ-FM. Beasley's KSTJ-FM is now broadcasting in crystal clear, CD-quality sound, made possible by HD Radio(TM) technology.
