CINCINNATI — Randy Michaels’ Radioactive LLC has filed an application to purchase WCVG 1320 AM and FM translator W280FW at 103.9 in Covington, Kentucky, from Reign Enterprizes, LLC for $110,000.

The FCC filing, application 0000307354, was submitted Nov. 6 and appeared in the Media Bureau’s Nov. 9 broadcast applications public notice. WCVG airs a Gospel format serving the Cincinnati market.

The transaction is pending. It has not been approved or consummated, and Reign Enterprizes remains the legal licensee while the application is under review.

One full-power station and one translator

The proposed assignment covers one full-power AM station, WCVG, and one FM translator, W280FW. The translator should not be counted as a second full-power station in ownership totals.

Radioactive is the FCC licensee of WKRP-FM 97.7 in Mason, Ohio. Michaels also operates WOXY 94.5 in the Dayton area and has a programming partnership involving WNKR 106.7 in Williamstown, Kentucky. Those operational relationships should be reviewed separately from legal license ownership when compiling group totals.

If the deal closes, Radioactive’s Cincinnati-market legal-license holdings would add one AM authorization and one translator authorization. Reign Enterprizes would relinquish both WCVG and W280FW. RNN has not found a filing that commits the buyer to a format change, so any programming change remains unconfirmed.

Why the filing matters

The purchase would expand Michaels’ direct FCC-license footprint in a top-50 radio market at a relatively modest price. WCVG’s Covington signal and translator also provide coverage closer to Cincinnati’s urban core than WKRP-FM’s Mason facility.

For ownership databases, the seller record should remain Reign Enterprizes, LLC until the FCC grants the application and accepts a later consummation notice. At closing, the buyer record should change to Radioactive LLC, with Michaels identified at the ultimate-parent or controlling-principal level. The transaction adds one full-power AM and one translator; it does not add two full-power stations.
