Alpha, a new entity formed by veteran broadcaster Larry Wilson and Endeavour Capital in Portland, which owns KXL-AM and KXTG-FM, will have six stations in the market.

The sale of Adult Album Alternative KINK-FM, Country KUPL-FM, Active Rock KUFO-FM, and Talk KCMD-AM, is part of the CBS Radio’s continuing strategy to focus on the nation’s largest markets.
