Hall Communications Sells WKNL New London to K-Love, Deal Filed with FCC

A station sale in southeastern Connecticut is moving forward, as Hall Communications has agreed to sell Classic Hits outlet WKNL to K-Love Inc., according to filings with the Federal Communications Commission.

The transaction, listed in FCC application records, includes a reported purchase price of $481,000. The buyer operates the national K-Love network, which has continued to expand its footprint across the country through similar acquisitions.

Once completed and approved, the deal would add a second Connecticut signal for K-Love, complementing its existing presence in the region and strengthening its overall coverage across southern New England.

The filing represents another step in an ongoing shift within the radio industry, where non-commercial operators continue to acquire signals in smaller and mid-sized markets, often at lower price points than seen in previous decades.

No additional terms or timeline beyond the regulatory approval process have been disclosed in the FCC documentation.
