As part of the deal, longtime Las Vegas-based syndicated morning personalities Dave and Mahoney will continue to be heard weekdays from 6-10am on KXTE-FM under Beasley's ownership.

Beasley Media CEO Caroline Beasley said, "Throughout Beasley Broadcast Group's 61-year history, we have actively managed our station portfolio with the goal of serving the communities where we operate with the best local programming and brands, diversifying our operations, managing risk and improving financial results. The agreement to exchange KDWN AM/FM translator for KXTE-FM addresses all of these strategic objectives and upon completion, will complement our Las Vegas market presence and content with five strong signals in the market."

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022 subject to FCC approval and other customary closing conditions.
