Sanpete County Broadcasting and Broadway Media are swapping ownership of 92.1 and 94.5.
It's weird to me that it took this long for the ownership of 92.1 to join that of its parent station, but that's business for you. In the FCC application it does specifically state that Broadway intends to use the station to rebroadcast 96.3 HD3. Currently that's a simulcast of 700, but as I recall they have split when there's a live sports conflict. That also does make it easier to flip the station to another format if they want to dissolve the simulcast.
On the 94.5 side, there's a provision in the agreement that Sanpete may file to move it. Whether that means a change in physical location, frequency or both it doesn't say, and nothing has been filed yet. They have a lot of station down that way so there are a lot of possibilities.
