It was in July that legacy AM St. Louis sports-talk radio station KFNS (590 AM) dropped local programming in a cost-cutting decision amid a search for a buyer. Now, nearly 3½ months later, owner Dave Zobrist said little progress has been made in trying to sell.
“There’s not much to report,” Zobrist said this week, adding that despite having hired a national broker, there have been “no serious leads.”
“It’s pretty discouraging,” he said.
He said he thinks a big hang-up is that the station still has 2½ years to go on a 10-year lease former owner Randy Markel executed with the landlord of the building in Kirkwood that houses KFNS’ studios and business operations.
