Connoisseur Media has agreed to acquire Alpha Media, creating a top 10 radio company with 218 stations in 47 markets. The new company will retain the Connoisseur name and be led by Connoisseur CEO Jeff Warshaw. "We are thrilled to welcome Alpha Media into the Connoisseur family," says Warshaw. "In getting to know the Alpha team, it has become clear that we share many of the same values: a passion for serving our local communities, a deep commitment to our clients, supporting our colleagues and fostering a culture of integrity, creativity and achievement." No word on terms of the deal. Connoisseur owns Country WWWF/Nassau-Suffolk. Alpha's Country roster includes KUPL/Portland, OR; KBAY/San Jose and the WCCQ & WXLC simulcast in suburban Chicago.
