NRJ TV Paying $45 Million for LA Independent

As previously reported, NRJ TV is purchasing KSCI Los Angeles using a credit bid it obtained by buying up the debt of the bankrupt station, which airs a variety of programming in Chinese, Korean and Tagalog. The amount was revealed Friday in an FCC filing seeking approval of the deal, which also includes KIKU Honolulu and KAUN-LP Los Angeles. The seller is International Media Group, which went into Chapter 11 in January.

KAUN-LP is in the adjoining San Diego DMA, and not Los Angeles. The station’s channel 48 transmitter is located near Poway, about 20 miles northeast of the transmitter sites of the major San Diego stations. With a mountaintop site, KAUN-LP’s signal covers over 1 million people in San Diego County.
