KSTV-FM/Stephenville-Comanche

Lonestar Broadcasting Group, LLC has completed its acquisition of the broadcast assets of VilleCom, LLC, adding four stations and two FM translators serving the Stephenville-Comanche in central Texas. The transaction includes AM stations KCOM and KSTV, FM stations KYOX and KSTV-FM, along with two FM translators.

Lonestar Broadcasting Group is led by husband-and-wife team Kenneth and Heidi Witt, who enter the transaction without any other broadcast holdings. Country KSTV-FM (The Mighty 93) relaunched as "Cowboy 93." Kenneth Witt will also host mornings from 7-9am weekdays.

With the sale now complete, longtime VilleCom owners Bob Haschke and Robert "Boots" Elliot will step away from station ownership. Both will remain involved with the stations in reduced roles as they transition into retirement from broadcast ownership.

Eddie Esserman of Media Service Group served as the exclusive broker representing VilleCom in the transaction.
