Bustos Media Holdings has signed an agreement to acquire AC KXXO-FM (Mixx 96.1) in Olympia, WA from 3 Cities Inc. An application has been filed with the FCC, and 3 Cities will continue to operate the station until the transaction receives regulatory approval. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

3 Cities, Inc., led by David Rauh and Toni C. Holm, launched KXXO in 1990 and has operated it as a locally owned station for 35 years. The company highlighted its long-running partnership with the Little Red Schoolhouse Project, which has provided school supplies to local families through annual radiothons.

Bustos Media Holdings, headed by Amador Bustos, owns 12 other stations in Washington and 14 more across Oregon, California, and Arizona. KXXO operates with 37 kW and puts a distant signal into Seattle.

Kalil & Co., Inc. served as the exclusive broker.
