Cox Media Group is divesting its Tulsa cluster to a local entrepreneur and first-time radio owner. The deal includes KRMG 102.3 FM and 740 AM, K95.5 (KWEN), Mix 96.5 (KRAV), and 103.3 The Eagle (KJSR) and is expected to close in the early second half of 2025.
The acquisition, pending FCC approval, signals an investment in local radio by Zoellner Media Group, which is owned by Tulsa optometrist Dr. Robert H. Zoellner.
Dr. Zoellner has long been a vocal supporter of local broadcasting, having used radio advertising extensively to build his businesses since launching his first optometry clinic in 1991. To lead operations, Dr. Zoellner has appointed veteran CMG market leader Steve Hunter as President and General Manager. Hunter brings more than two decades of experience at CMG Tulsa, Scripps Radio, and Griffin Media.

I guess KRMG was too liberal for his tastes...
