Salem Media Group has agreed to sell 1kW Religious KCRO-AM (660) and News/Talk KOTK-AM (1420)/Omaha and affiliated translators to Hickory Radio. Hickory is an affiliate of Walnut Radio, who will manage the radio stations on behalf of Hickory. Both stations will remain in their present formats and retain their current program line-ups. Salem is licensing the use of the brand names "The Word" and "The Answer" in Omaha to Hickory/Walnut so that the stations will maintain their current brand equity.

Walnut Radio President Steve Seline said, "We are glad to be adding these popular and historic stations to the Walnut family. We believe in the Greater Omaha area and have continued to put our money into local stations with the intent to both serve the area with our programming and to give our employees greater opportunities in their home towns."

"We are thrilled to put these radio stations in the capable hands of Walnut Radio, a broadcaster with deep roots in the area and with a commitment to maintain the quality of broadcast our ministry partners, advertisers and listeners have come to expect," said Salem President/Broadcast Media Dave Santrella.
