HT&E's ARN has sold 4KQ to the Sports Entertainment Group for $12 million.
The sale was required by ACMA following HT&E’s acquisition of Grant Broadcasters last year
The acquisition expands Sports Entertainment Group's owned radio platform and audience reach with 35 stations now in operation and now in all capital cities and states.
Craig Hutchison, SEG’s managing director: “We know Queenslanders love their sport. 693 SENQ will provide a unique offering and constant sporting content like never before as Queensland’s only dedicated sports station. We already have great momentum with ‘Breakfast with Pat & Heals’ and I look forward to announcing more Queensland specific content in the coming months. Our business model is sport, and parochial sport is at the heart of that. Queenslanders love their state and its teams and we are excited to play our role in amplifying that passion.”
