Sale
WFMD, along with its sister station WFRE, were put into a trust by owner Clear Channel Communications with the intention to sell the stations in August 2008.[3]
On March 27, 2019, Connoisseur Media announced that it would acquire WFMD and sister station WFRE from the Aloha Station Trust in exchange for transferring its Erie, Pennsylvania cluster to iHeartMedia.[4][5] The sale closed on May 21, 2019.[6]

gollark: Anyway, discord in browser: I get to piggyback off the RAM use and stuff of my browser instance instead of feeding a bloated electron app. No update issues. Probably less telemetry.
gollark: Um, it was a joke. I'm not actually a HTML parser.
