Salem Media Group has agreed to sell seven radio stations to Educational Media Foundation (EMF), the parent organization of the K-LOVE and Air1 brands. The sale is awaiting FCC approval. Salem executive chairman and co-founder Edward G. Atsinger stated, “We have made a strategic decision to exit the Contemporary Christian Music format in order to pay off all of Salem’s long-term debt.” Salem similarly distanced itself from the Southern Gospel genre in 2021 when its Singing News branded properties (including the magazine and a Southern Gospel radio network) were acquired by SeaWalker Media Corporation.
