If This Is Austin: Connoisseur is selling four Minnesota stations serving Austin and Albert Lea, including Country KAUS-FM, to Hometown Broadcasting of Austin and Albert Lea. The deal is expected to close in the early fall, pending FCC approval. Connoisseur CEO Jeff Warshaw says the area is "not a market where we felt Connoisseur could make a meaningful difference." Hometown CEO Greg Jensen says, "We look forward to serving our communities and surrounding areas.”
